I forget what the break down is but I opened the 3" up earlier this year and counted 426 pellets.


Cluck more, yelp less

I've used that chart quite a bit, it is helpful.  Looks like the number of 5,6,7 varies between shells.  Was kinda leaning toward them with the higher velocity, but I want to know what I'm getting also.  Now I don't know what I'm gonna do.  If they are mostly 7's, I don't want em.

Yes but #7s at 1200fps is better than #7s at 1090fps right?

Yep, much better.  I've been thinking about it alot since yesterday.  Velocity is really the determining factor when you are talking about how hard a pellet hits.  100 fps difference in velocity makes a large difference in kinetic energy.  (Velocity is the squared part)

Still,  I wan't something consistent.
