Default RE: Want a better pattern?

Update......

As I posted previously, I did the polishing technique on both my 870 Super Mag and Benelli Super 90.

870 - I patterned both guns today. I shoot 3 1/2" Rem Hevi-shot 6's in my 870. All I can say is, the 870 will be my long distance turkey gun. Last year this gun with same choke and load would put upwards of 25 pellets in the head and neck at 40 yards. This year, after the polish, I shot the 870 with same choke and load at 47 yards. The pattern was more uniform than I have ever seen from this gun. I counted 43 pellets in the head and neck and only 10 outside the 12" circle!

Benelli - I shoot Fed 3" HV 4's from this gun. Last year I was doing good to get 10 pellets in the head and neck at 40 yards. This year, after polish, same choke and load, I counted 22 pellets in the head and neck. ONLY 7 PELLETS OUTSIDE THE 12" CIRCLE AND THEY WERE ONLY AN INCH OR SO FROM THE EDGE OF THE 12" OUTLINE! I have always had trouble with my guns shooting 4's. Not anymore.

And Yes, I'm a Happy Man!!

Thanks a million for the tip!!
