Ok guys i dunno if this is good or bad so you tell me. I patterned my gun( Brning BPS 12 GA w/ 26" barrel) with the new factory full strut tube with an outers turkey target at 40 yds. The results kinda surprised me but im new to this......

My first shot was actually with the factory full choke and a Rem 3" w/ 2 oz. of #6. Gave me 7 hits in the marked vitals on the target.

Second round of shots was with the new choke with the same load. Gave me 10 hits in the vitals with 21 in the circle.

Third round was with 3" #5 Rem. loads with 18 vital shots and around 30 in the circle.

So outa curiosty i loaded a 3" #4 Rem load and made a few shots. The best of the round was with 31 in the vitals with well over 60 in the circle. With the other ten or more targets i fired on this seemed to be the norm not a fluke.

All this rather confused me because everyone told me the smaller shot would always pattern tighter. Either way its all good ive spent about 6 hours total and around 80 rounds of diffrent sizes of shot and this load far surpasses all of them. Whish is good i guess cuz i bout 2 cases of this same load at a local department store closing sale for around 1.25 a box so i think ill have plenty of ammo.

Ok theres the low down, needless to say im happy and ready for them gobblers this year
