Im thinking you are going to have to go with more constriction
Looks to me like pattern # 1 is way more even eventhough there are not as many "kill zone" hits.
Pattern #2 has more "kill zone hits" but the pattern looks very weak on the right, maybe just the shot was pulled a little bit?
heres a shot of the no 6's on a 4ft by 4ft piece of paper! 3 in black circle for poa!
im shooting a carlsons DC in 660, he assured me by this pic that if i were to draw a 10 in circle below the black dot i could get a good kill shot at 40 for sure! what do you thinK> or should i go tighter?

660 is pretty tight, but your pattern isn't really too tight... not sure if that combo is the primo combo for your gun. That being said.. The pic of the big paper tells the story a little better. If you get your POI on center with that dot, that'll kill a turkey at 40 for sure.

Those were Remington Nitro loads, not Nitros. You need to be more specific.

wow......
:thanks:
Nitro ammo company loads hevi shot, like the HeviShot company. Their loads are smoking and pattern much better than the Rem Nitro loads. Thus making us think something is terribly wrong with your patterns if they are from Nitro. That is why that post, but no sweat. We'll help get you shooting where You want to be. That is all that matters.
thanks guys! i was just given an undertaker choke tube in 665 diameter!
my current DC choke is 660 they said at carlsons! wonder if the undertaker would work better!~
its a 665 instead of the current 660 im using!

its a heavi shot choke so maybe it doesn't pattern well with regular lead 4 5 6's
It looks like a pretty decent pattern to me. Draw yourself a 10" circle around the densest part of the pattern and see what you get for a hit count. If you bring your POI up a few inches, I'd say you're good to go.

I just don't think the guy had any idea there was a company named Nitro. He has 30 posts and that looked nothing like a Nitro Company pattern. Before this site I had never heard of Nitro Company either.
