federal hvy #7 numbers at 25 ?s update 4/2/2014

Hey all got out today for a measured 40 yard shot. 116 in the 10 inch circle. I still have some time before opening day so I might polish the barrel  and see if I can get a few more at 40. So do you think 116 federal #7 heavy will do the trick at 40? The pattern was pretty evenly spread in the 10. Let me know and THANKS!!

116 will kill the whizz out of one @ 40yds.

You're over the gold standard which is 100 in a 10" circle. You might be able to tweak it to get some more but I wouldn't be afraid to take that gun in the woods.

[BandedSpur]

You're golden.

Sounds like a great shooting rig! Good luck!

I would stop shooting and go hunting.  I can count on 1 hand how many shots I've had to take over 40 yards.  At least now you know that you have a killer rig inside 40.

If it was a good even pattern I would hunt with it.

[WyoHunter]

I think you'll find that your pattern will be sufficient at 40 yards.
