Title: Long Beard pattern pics
Post by: Fatbeard on February 22, 2014, 08:54:39 PM
Took my BPS out today with the Indian Creek .665 and was fairly impressed. Shot it into roof tin and it put a good dent into the metal. The Xtended range would always penetrate the metal but it patterned VERY WELL.
This is at 40 yards with 3 1/2 #5

This is at 55 yards same load

Iguess I'm just a contrary sob.  I wouldn't shoot a gun with that pattern, it's pizz poor for 40.  No density whatsoever.  I'd like to see hat you had I the 30 to see if you pulled your shot.

Toast at 55  :icon_thumright: Don't know if I could see one at that distance.  :o
A few of my patterns at 40 yards, I hunt the woods so that would be about max for me. Not bad with a TK 2000 ML.  :camohat: Hevi left Lead right.
