And this is my 60 yard target. Sorry for all of the posts but it would not let me post all three pictures in one post. There are 96 pellets inside of the 10" circle.

Nice patterns, but be forewarned, no matter what Winchester or the Drury boys would have you believe, lead 6s do not have the horsepower to kill birds at 60 yds.
Agreed . pattern density fails before penetration will does not apply anymore.

Switched to Hevi 7s. I know they're all tight at 10. Those longbeards were almost that tight at 20 for me.  I had great patterns at 35-40.  I felt like I was only getting a decent hunting pattern over a very short range.  Probably my imagination but my confidence was shaken on two of the three birds I shot last season.

The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.
