Fair numbers, and will kill every time to 40 yds.  You are missing your true pattern density though.  Shoot at a big piece of paper and see your whole patter, I mean 3 x 3 ft paper.  This will make sure your POA and POI are the same.  You will also get a true count of your 10" numbers by drawing your circle after you shoot.

Yeah this was a last minute thing when we went to the range.  The next time we will have bigger sheets of paper.  These shots were with the Browning choke.

I shoot the Hevi Tube in my BGH; the blends pattern very well. But not as well as the 7s.

Anybody else have experience with the Hevi Shot choke and Magnum Blend with the BGH?  Pattern pics?

The new choke came in today.  Hoping to have time on Friday to get the range and pattern it with the Mag blends.

Forgot to post this up.  The new choke performed much better.  This is the 40 yard pattern out of the gun with the same load.  I didn't do a count but the pattern is much more dense.  POI is a little to the left so I'll have to compensate for it but not by much.
