Did you count the pellets in a 10" circle after you shot?  Or , did you draw a circle then shoot?  Should have been after you shot, circle the densist part of your pattern, then count.

sounds like if you adjust your sites a little your are good to go. 300 is about what most people are getting with those shells.

If it helps, I'm averaging 250 in 10" with my 26" barrel Nova and JH .655 setup.

did a re-count with poi being my center, 336  in 10" w 26" nova/compnchoke/7s. THanks for all the input and guess Im going to be happy with that as long as my compnchoke can handle the abuse. Pretty satisfied and never thought i would be shooting number  7s, hope they pack a punch down range.
