Patterned my 1187 youth today with a Carlson 575 and SSX 550 and was averaging around 140 pellets in a 10" circle at 40yds. Although, not the best numbers in a 10" circle, the head and neck numbers were outstanding. All my shots averaged around 55 to 65 pellets in the head and neck at 40yds. I thought that was pretty impressive!
