Not bad for a stock double at 40 yards. Federal 3" #5 shot

with 258 shot in a 1 1/2 oz #5 load and roughly 200 in a ten" circle are you sure that is 40 yds? :happy0064:

Was that pattern fired with ......
• Federal® Premium® Mag-Shok® w/the Flitecontrol® wad @ 1185fps 1 5/16oz #5Pb (#PFC258 5) or
• Federal® Premium® Grand Slam Turkey® w/the Triple=Plus® wad @ 1185fps 1¼ or 1 5/16oz #5Pb
Either way that is an AWESOME PATTERN for 20ga Pb!!!!!

Looks like a 30 yard pattern to me based on my experience with that load. If that's 40 that's an amazing gun.
