I thought I would get a better pattern than this. Thouse of you than know my rig knows it will do better than than that. It allways averages from 320-- 351 couldn't believe 258 need to really deep clean it.

I have the same setup and got 324. Try a deep clean and if that does not improve try polishing your barrel.
I wouldnt expect 350 though. Leave that to the mossburgs.

Make sure that your Indian Creek is clean. The wad catchers gather plastic crud quick.

How can you be disappointed in 258?  That is a great pattern.  It is not where you are used to shooting, but it is great NTL.  How is the Mueller?


ILIKEHEVI-13

Very few guns that I know of will consistently avg 300 shot in a 10" regardless if your shooting 3.5" or 3" Hevi-13 loads.  Now in certain temp and certain lots, that may be obtainable but still highly unlikely if you were to just keep firing round after round.  Too many varibables is what I found.  There is nothing wrong with that pattern.  Some will be better for sure.  But repeatable 300 shot in a 10" would be a miracle in my opinion.   

ILIKEHEVI-13

That's providing if guys aren't counting a lot of the snowman pellets as 2 shot.  My 835 shoots great patterns, but it will not consistently shoot 300 shot in a 10" at 40yds day in and day out.  That is consistency.

Hey Ray how ya doing, I love the mueller sight. Yes the pattern is good an tight but you know I but better numbers up than that......

yes we all know it will but if your gun is capable of better numbers with the combo your using then why not go for it?

It looks like the other 42 or more shot have  started going into the same hole as other shot so that the shooter feels bad and wonders why all of a sudden his pattern has waned somewhat.  :o ::)
