Mossberg 835 pattern 40 yards

[harvester]

Give me your opinions please.
@ 40 yards
2 oz #5 shot (370 pellets)
107 in 10" circle

I would say that is about the max range for that load in your gun. It will definitely kill turkey's at 40 yrd's.

[chatterbox]

Patter looks pretty good. I would be a little concerned about the center having a gap like that.

[VAHUNTER]

not bad for 5's. like chatterbox i would not like the donut in the center. have you considered trying 6's ?

[goblr77]

That will kill but you are close to being maxed out on range.

[surehuntsalot]

fire away

[spur collector]

not bad, but there are some holes in the pattern

[harvester]

I rarely ever shot that far, I prefer shots 30 yards or closer.  I think I will leave it at that for the time being. 

[VAHUNTER]

you will be fine. that is a killing pattern

You are at the end of your range.

[harvester]

Shoot boys I aint lookin for the 40 yard shots, I like them close and personal.

If he breaks 42yds, he's coming out over your shoulder.

Nothing wrong with patterns like that at all, especially if a man only wants 40yd capability.

As mentioned, #6s will fill in your voids and far more energy than required.

Good Luck this spring,

Reloader
