Here is what my chosen combo gave me at 40 yards. 168 hits inside that 12" circle with 362 still on the paper.
(Note: Seems quite a bit removed from that 209 in a 10" circle at 40 with the hevi-13 doesn't it. Still nothing to sneeze at though, and remember that raw density isn't always the best answer.) That equals out to 46%. Please note that not ALL of the pellets that came out of this shell are being captured on the paper. For a 100% true percentage, we would have to cut open a shell, and count the average number for that load. I can ill afford to cut open a $4 shotgun shell, so I accept a little margin of error instead.
