Looks like Trulock has it figured out. Nice patterns.

Since the 575 and 555 (fed HW#7) choke both had nearly identical numbers the pattern may also reflect on the overbore work as well. Very nice patterns and good to see that this shell will work in 555-575 range as that covers lots of choke options in the 20 gauge world.

Good patterns for a 20 guage for sure.

For what it's worth, patterned one round before the barrel work (with the .575 tube), got 109 in a 10" circle.  The barrel was on the tight side, .615 as I recall.

The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

Very nice! My son shoots an 1100 youth model, and I just switched him to the same shell, and they do very well out of his gun, I was very impressed.
