so i stumbled upon "spreader" shotgun loads....

sounds like they are made to throw a loose pattern and open quickly...


i have a winchester model 50 i want to use for grouse and upland bird hunting this season, but it has a full choked barrel that patterns better than some guys turkey guns...if i hit a grouse with it, its going to be a poof of feathers...IF i could hit one lol...

i dont wanna have the barrel drilled out and tapped for chokes because i want to keep the gun original...its a 1958 m50 in good original condition...

i am searching for another barrel for it to either have drilled and tapped for chokes, or buy an IC or mod barrel to hunt with and keep the original full as it is...

anyone have expirience with the "spreader" loads??? will they work well for grouse/rabbit hunting?? 10-25 or 30yd shots?? the gun patterns much to tight to bother trying it as it is....

figured id see if anyone used them before i ordered some...
