This  is not  only perfect in the sense that it is  such a  uniform pattern  but this  was  shot on a  morning  with  no  wind and  hit dead on.

Hevi Shot #5    3 1/2" shells  40  yrds   benelli  SBE I    675 choke

10"  circle  and  20 " circle.

I think more and more people in the near future are going to realize that tighter isn't always better.  This .675 in this gun proves that with that load.  That is wicked.

this  was  briley Xfull turkey

i  agree about  the  tight chokes....  even  this  choke/combo at  25 looks  like
100%  in  the  10"

hadnt  counted pellets on  this   one

great pattern---hard to believe 40 yrds with #5s
Title: Re: Look here.... awesome pattern pic

i  think sometimes  Hevi Shot  pellet  counts may be  closer  to  6's  than  5's

x2...thats why the "Magnum Blend" makes me laugh. Other than the 1200fps, all hevi-shot is a magnum blend. :lol:

You  are  right  about  the 'magnum blend'   not  as  bad from  environ metal but some  nitros that I  have  looked at  look like  floor  sweepings blend.

here is  a  picture of the  choke tube... and  it  might  be  seminole  choke ,  I  always thought it  was  briley but  the  stamping  look  exactly  like  the  seminole writing.
the  constriction was made  by using  a  caliper  that measures  exactly like  the   stamped 675
