Title: Patterning update for winchester 1300.
Post by: Deerslayer0369 on February 09, 2013, 11:33:56 PM
First and foremost wanted to thank everyone that gave me insight on this. I patterned my win 1300 21"b today and WOW! Once I got my sights lined up right this gun got really impressive. In the past I had no confinence in this gun pass 30yds, not the case now. I purchased a hevi-shot brand .662 tube combined with the hevi shot mag blends, one word describes it...DEVASTATING. I'll post pics of my day as soon as I can figured out how to make the files smaller :(. I shot turkeys targets after I got the sights set up but @30 yds was about 140pellets and @40 yds was about 73 pellets. I will probably shoot big paper next to see the bigger picture of the whole pattern. But once again you guys are awesome and thanks a ton

Looks great.
Did you by any chance shoot Hevi #6's. My 1300 same barrel same choke did 248 in a 10" @ 40yds.

I recently got the 18" barrel this year im going to compare.

also deep clean your barrel your numbers will go up.
