The pattern was great for 30 yards and I would say you still have a 40 yard pattern too just it will be about 30% shot in shot, but that is normal.
You just learned a little here and thats what is it is all about right ?
Lets see a 40 yard now Bud !
I agree. My biggest complaint about the load, besides its cost, is that is in 7 shot. That will not have alot of energy over 30yds for what I feel would be a killing, on the spot shot. Now if it were in 6's, I would feel better. For I have shot over 250K clay birds and have seen clays just leave an orange smoke ring in the air and not break, even from the 16yd line. So that is closer than the described distance you mentioned.
I just feel the energy would not be there over that distance.
And who is to say that you are going to get that bird within your kill distance? My .02 cents.
