That sounds like this year's loads.  And the Hevi-Shot rep I spoke with a coupe of weeks ago told me that they had gone back to the wad from 2 years ago which gave the great patterns.  So, pattern some and let us know. :OGturkeyhead:

I shot some of the same # in my maxus and 835.  I have the pictures posted in the patterning section.  So far the best with the maxus is in the 260's and 835 was 216 i think.

unless you need to for some other reason, don't waste that  (gold). There fine. thats the lot of my first pattern with 361. I was trying to open it up a bit with a bigger choke to cover the 20" and it just got tighter.

It wasn't 40yds. I mismeasured 16 feet. There still going to be good ammo.

Got a chance to shoot these today. Here are the results.

SBE2 26"
Rhino .660
3.5-2.25-7
Clean barrel
40 yards
254 in 10"

Next shot got 274 in 10"
I guess my gun does better when it's a little dirty. Although I was satisfied with these numbers, I wasn't satisfied with the pattern. Seemed a little scattered. Gonna try a .665 and .668 and see how that goes. Sorry, I didn't take any pics
