Best pattern I have seen at 40 yards with Hevi-13 5's was about 141 inside 10 inches. At 50 yards that pattern is already going to be sub 100. Maybe as low as 75. By 60 yards it's going to be well below 50. By 70 yards you would be very lucky to put 20 pellets inside 10inches. And I'm being generous with those estimates.
Thank you Todd. Your exactly right. I think it's time for this guy to put up or shut-up. And I hate to say that. But that's why I came back with the patterns I want him to show us the proof. Should be able to do it immediately if he wants any validity to his claims at all. I think he and is buddies are internet wonders.
The best I have got out of my 835 and StarDot choke with Hevi-13 3.5" 1.75oz #5's, and I have only shot one shell was 155 I believe in a 10" at 40yds.
I would love to see any magblend or hevi-13 #5 pattern at 40yds that would even lead me to think that it would be capable at killing a turkey at 65yds or farther. And I'm talking a legit honest pattern at a honest 40yds taped and not some 30yd shot. I have seen enough of them in my time to know when someone is trying to bs there way to fame.
