I just finished patterning those same 3 1/2", 21/4 oz loads (5,6,7) in my gun. Insane!!!! Im averaging close to 250 pellets in 10" at 40 yards with those puppies out of my 655 choke. i thought I may be too tight constricted for the hevi shot, but was delighted with what I saw. 40 yards has about 50 skull/ vertebrate direct hits on the HS turkey targets. Thirty yards is complete oblivion. Dang salty at $30 for only five shots- $6 every time you pull the trigger, OUCH) but I'm a convert. Still tight enough at thirty yards that a miss would be possible if I'm not steady on the shot execution. over 90% of the pattren is in the inner 16" by my best estimate at 40 yards...very few flyers, and VERY uniform. Hard to find a hole much bigger than a quarter anywhere in the core. Interestingly, these shot dead center of my sights, compared to my previous Winchester loads that routinely centered about 8" left for me at the same distance.
