I've got a couple different patterns with my load/choke. Lowest number is 180, highest is 223. Pretty consistant all things considered.
In a 10" circle? at 40yds? I didn't even think there werer that many pellets in a shell!
Go over to the NWTF forums and read where some guys are putting right at 300 pellets in a 10" circle from 40 yards away. That is an aweful tight pattern with not much room for a missed shot, but definitely a dead bird.
I am putting right around 130 to 150 with a Tru Glo Strut Stopper Xtreme choke and Winchester Extended Range 3" #6 shot.
