This was an old pattern from my boy. I think it's a 12" circle,but still a decent pattern. He has changed the recipe since then.
BPS 28" barrel,there might have been a swarm in it. I don't know the number.

105 @40 with #5 lead is good. If I could do that everytime I don't know if I would shoot Hevi 7's.

That is the reasoning I have if 7's hit like lead like lead 6.5's from my research why not use 5's at .5 the cost and Killing patterns farther than I want to shoot
