So i went out with a buddy and did some patterning this past weekend. we just went out to do a basic pattern test to see if we could improve on them before season starts. i have ordered a Jelly Head choke for the Moss/weatherby that should be here in the next few day. I also going to pick up some winchester extended range #6 and some Hevi 13 #7 this weekend. hope my patterns get better.

let me know if there is anything that you think i should try. and i will not be able to polish my barrel for this season.

here is a list of the results so far

Stick with the load/choke combination that gave you the most shot in the 10" circle. IMO more hits are better than high speed at normal turkey ranges. Also, very nice work on the spread sheet! I never thought of doing that with my patterns but it's a great idea. Hope this helps, good luck!
