Title: 2.75" Lead 7.5's Pattern Model 220
Post by: Spring Creek Calls on July 03, 2012, 02:34:06 PM
Did a test pattern with my old 20 gauge Savage 220 w/polychoke at 20 yards. The 12 ga. was too much for my daughter so I thought I'd see how the 20 would run. Dialed her down to full and shot a 2.75" Winchester 7.5's at 25 yards. I was pretty amazed at the # of pellets in the 10" but also on how the pattern lined up diagonally across the target. Gonna get some more 7.5's and try it at 25 and 30 yards.

  Another forum member had a 220 threaded & choked and was shooting TSS with amazing results.  I think the gun was good out to 40+ yards.  Can't remember who it was though.

Now that was a cool project gun! That's got me thinkin' about a project of my own. Gun was given to me by FIL. Was bought new by his father, according to FIL.
