The odds of getting 4 shot let alone 1 or 2 shot to hit that small vertebrae at a true 60yds is slim and none with a 20GA and that load. And again I don't follow the logic of you even posting the 50 and 60yd patterns here when they don't stack up to your 40yd ones. The same thing also applies like I said for a 250 10" pattern at 30yds and that is very much obtainable with a 20GA and that load with a good choke. You should easily be able to show us a 200 shot 40yd pattern at 40yds to even come close to getting 50 shot in a true 10" at a true 60yds and that is providing you only lose 80 shot over each 10yds instead of 100 shot. And I know of no 20GA gun that will do a true 200 shot 10" pattern with that same load regardless of what choke you use at a true taped 40yds. You can't and won't do this because you know I and any other person who is up on patterning won't buy a 200 shot pattern in a 10" at a taped 40yds with that same Hevi-13 20GA 1 and 1/4oz # 6 load regardless of the choke you shoot.
