Title: Would you hunt this pattern?
Post by: rtsj on March 20, 2012, 08:26:25 PM
Been doin some playing around with some loads and chokes and think I found one that I like. Do you guys think its good or try to put more in the 10". There is 567 pellets in this load and with 479 total in the 20. That puts  84% of the load in the 20" circle. Looking for some input.


Thanks Roy

Yes.
although mine is better. :goofball:
On second thought... Your 20" may be better than mine.

Philippe.  This was posted because i had a question about this pattern and if was an acceptable hunting pattern in the eyes of OG members. It seems everyone is chasing 300+ numbers and I for one am not.   The pattern forum is for pics only.  I was after input that is why i posted it here. I've posted many patterns in the pattern foum. Thank  you but i knew what i was doing.

Considering the distance, the type of shot involved, and the pattern thrown, how could it NOT be huntable???????

Roy I got high 200's with #8 TSS in the 10" at 40' from 2 oz 3" load.

Correction: the 308 count was from #9 TSS in 10 gauge 3.5" 2.5 oz.
I can't find the numbers in the first load.
Also got 281 #8 tss in 10 gauge

I tried this same blended load through a Sumtoy Buckshot choke in .682 expecting it to tighten it up a bit but wow.  322 in a 10" and 144 in a 20".   Super tight 10 numbers but the 20 was really spotty. I'm definatly sticking with the original .682.

Roy, that pattern is HORRIBLE!!  :o  Just kidding!  :toothy12:  True KILLER pattern right there bud!  AWESOME 20" too.  Ignore the peanut gallery too.  The patern forum is for specs, pics and loads, for info purposes first.  We get what you were asking.   :icon_thumright:

I probably wouldn't hunt knats with it, but it would probably work really well on horse flys :D
