That has to be a new world record 3" 7 pellet count...never seen a 3" got 300+....heck most 3.5" guns wont.  I just happen to have a m1 too...

That's an excellent pattern. Well done.

Thanks,

I had my wife bring home a compass (I guess that's what you call it) from work (math teacher) and we drew a 10" circle over the densest part. Keep in mind, the circle isn't "perfect", but it's pretty close. World record.....don't really care much about that..,All I know it is one heck of a pattern,

This is certainly gonna raise some eyebrows! Awesome, and may even be a little to tight. Have you checked the 20 inch numbers? :icon_thumright:

How long is the barrel on your M1, darron???

It's a 26" barrel. I did not polish it, only deep cleaned.

For the record, My behind was at 40 yards, so that would make the end of the barrel at 38.5-39 yards. Nonetheless, I was stoked to see this.

I have not checked the 20" numbers. You are correct, at 20 yards and under I better hold the thing like a rifle. With 325, although I try not to practice this, I am pretty confident a gobbler would take a dirt nap at 50 yards with ease.

WOW !

I'm getting around a 210/10/40 average out of my SBE II with the SSX and 3in, 2oz 7's.

That's pretty impressive !
