Default RE: shotgun pattern

But we're talking about Hevishot, not lead. A Hevishot pellet has roughly the same amount of energy at any given distance as a lead pellet 2 sizes bigger. In other words, a #7 Hevishot pellet has the same amount of energy as a #5 lead pellet. That's one of the biggest pro's of Hevishot. You can get away with shooting a smaller pellet and still haveenough downrange energy to kill.
