These two patterns were shot with Hevi 2.25 oz #7's lot #300324 through an 835 with a polished 24" barrel. I shot two of the Hevis through the Star Dot and only one through the Colonial Arms. This stuff is too good to waste. The Star Dot pattern was the best I've ever shot with that choke. It usually runs in the 320's with that lot. The point of impact is a little off on the 341. I was sighting in a new scope and shot that pattern before it was dialed in. I was getting it close with lead. The last pattern I shot, which is not shown, was 280 with a predrawn 10" circle. Slightly moving the center it was in the 320's as usual for this gun and choke. Being I only fired one shell through the Colonial Arms I may not be giving it the benefit of the doubt but I've never had a round from that lot shoot under 300 with the Star Dot. I was expecting something a lot closer out of that choke.
