Well, I was finally able to do some patterning yesterday with my M3500 and am very pleased with the results!  It was only around 50 degrees outside and a little windy but I think I found my load.  261 hits at 40 yards with Hevi #7's! :drool:

Do you think the pattern will tighten up with warmer temps and if so by how much?  Not that I need it - LOL!

Nope sold all my stoegers for a SBE2. Was a fine gun though and killed a lot of turkeys with it and the M2000

Here were some of mine with the same choke but magblends. I can find the 7s pic in a bit
