Title: Shot Drop
Post by: msm210 on April 25, 2012, 03:19:54 PM
Question - I have an 11-87 with an IC .665 choke shooting Hevi-Shot 3" 2oz. Mag Blend.  I just returned from the range with the ability to only shoot at 25 yards.  I've got it dialed in leaving a good amount of hits right on the bullseye and need to know how much drop I need to anticipate if I get a shot at 40 yards. 

My season here in Michigan starts next Monday and I'm ready to go but want to know what to anticipate for a longer shot.

Thanks and good luck!
Mike

you will not see noticable drop from 25 to 40

please post questions on the gun section and pictures ONLY threads here on the patterning section. IF you have a picture of your pattern upload it please

I like to always shoot my gun at the range I intend to hunt at so I KNOW im good not just assume my pattern is good to a certain range

It was originally posted in the pattern section, and was then moved to here later. That was the point.

Gotcha. Thought I was loosing it.
