Title: 2 3/4" full barrel shells?
Post by: nickp on February 23, 2014, 06:13:28 PM
Hey guys,

I have an old Stevens single shot 20 with a 2 3/4" full barrel. The federal HWT 7 did the best so far, enough to give a sure enough 40 yard pattern. The winchester super x 6, remington nitro mag 4, and fiocchi golden pheasant all threw good 35 yard patterns. Has anyone tried the federal upland, federal prairie storm, or kent fast lead in a similar combo?

The Fed HW 7s are most likely gonna give u the best pattern past 30 yards. Id save your $ buying other shells to test and get more HW 7s.Best of luck to ya with your old gun.
