I think you just set a record with those patterns. It just aint gonna get any better that those. I think your patterning days are over my friend.   :fud:

Awsome patterns. It doesn't get much better with lead. Does anyone know if they make these shells in 3.5 inch?

Yep.  The 3.5" is a 2oz load.  Fortunately for me my Walmart has 5 and 6 shot.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

These shells are Buffered Lead, without any Copper-plating or Nickel-plating.  Just hard Lead.  Simple-looking Wad.

I don't know why they work, they just work.

I have several boxes of the old Feds in 3.5/2.25/5's and 6's - with the way these new ones are shooting I will be buying a bunch and adding to the stash!

Congrats! That's a great feeling when you turn patterns like that with lead. When I started turning 150-170 in a 10 @ 40 with Pb 6's out of my two lead slingers..I was done buying HTL. It's nice to pay 14.99 for 10 shells Win XX. :z-guntootsmiley:

Give me a federal load with the triple plus was any day over the fright control (not a typo).  My 835 puts up right at 160 avg with the grand slam 3.5/2/6 pb loads at 40 yards.  Looks like the new thug loads are nothing more than the old strut shoks...which is a GOOD THING.  The FC was was a fix for a problem that didn't exist unless you only hunted with a mod choked gun.  Even then the pattern performance upgrade still didn't set the world on fire.
