I went to the range today, and was trying to get my Tru-glo red dot scope dialed in. I started at 10 yards and would blow a Hole in the Target, with light loads (Dove Loads) after I got my scope set I moved back to 20 30 and 40 yards, and was getting about 110 pellets in a 10 circle is that ok. And at 40 yards it was probably about 90 or so. The shells were Hevi-shot Mag blend.

They should pattern much better than that.  What gun and size choke are you shooting them thru??

Hootowl

Mossberg 12 gauge, 26 inch barrel, Jellyhead constriction .660

I believe the Jelly Head for a Mossberg is .690.  Either way something is not right here. You should be getting twice the amount of pellets that you counted.

Mine is a .660. I am headed back out tomorrow, and trying some different ammo. Nitro, federal, and a few more.....

Sorry I have the Mossberg 835 on my brain since I own one, they are the .690.  I don't know much about the 500 Mossberg, but I would think it should do better than that.

Got mine from Primos, they don't have it the .660 on there website you have to call and ask for it. No Problem.
