dbHunterNY Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 So I patterned my Benelli Supernova 12ga yesterday. I'm using Federal Heavyweight 3" #5s 1-5/8oz shells, because I got a couple boxes from Gandermountain. The best pattern I've gotten so far is 53 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards. That's with a stock flush modified choke. Now I tried a tighter choke Carlson's Dead Coyote choke and the pattern wasn't as good. I also had the wad only go 30 yards and didn't it fly straight with this one. With the mod choke the wad flew straight and bounced off the target. Now I read in a magazine that you should have 100 pellets in a 10" circle. I didn't think my pattern was bad, but it's making me wonder. What are people getting for 12ga patterns at 40 yards?

Ethan Givan Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I dont shoot at a circle when patterning my gun, I shoot the turkey targets. 53 pelletes in a 10" circle sounds pretty good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
