Title: Finally!!
Post by: mmusso on March 04, 2011, 04:34:43 PM
Patterning my 12ga Nova has been irritating to say the least. I've so many shells and a few chokes, but I finally got a pattern I'm pleased with. I know everything else I've shot would work in a hunting situation, but I want my gun to perform up to its potential. I only got to shoot once today, so I'll be shooting another choke or two this weekend to see what they do, but I like what I see so far.

I only counted the hits inside the circle measured right at 10".
What kind of patterns are y'all getting, or are you even fooling with it?

you need to contact  on here.  If you buy shot from him you get the relaod data with it.  We all agree not to share his info in return.  I can tell you the tungsten is $40/lb and the stuff is bad to the bone.  you really dont need a reloader, just a digital scale and a roll crimping tool and the components.  The first batch is a little pricy, but they start evening out after that.  It really is the best turkey load available in the world!!!

PM  if your interested
