The first time I shot my Jelly Head .660 and Nitro 4x5x7's I put 266 pellets in the 10" circle at 40 yards.

To all of the nay sayers, you don't have to believe it don't want to, but as r33h pointed out, go over to the NWTF website or oldgobbler.com (that's where a lot of the NWTF guys are now) and take a look for yourselves. My pattern of 266 pellets at 40 yards would only be considered a goodstarting pointfor those guys, meaning that they wouldn't be satisfied and would probably change chokes to get a better pattern.

Personally, I would rather have a good tight pattern at 40 yards than have a sloppy pattern at 40 yards. A sloppy pattern probably will not kill a bird at 40 yards, and will most likely wound him, but a good tight 40 yard pattern will kill all the way out to 40, and beyond if needed.

When it comes to patterns, the old saying, "It is better to have and not need than to need and not have" comes to mind.
