Mossberg pattern results

Went to the range Friday and tested my Mossberg 835 with a Tru Glo Strut Stopper choke, toped with a 2X Simmons Prodiamond scope. All shots were at 40 yards and hits were taken only from the vitals.

Winchester Supreme Double X Magnum 3.5” #5shot

2nd shot- 11

Left the range feeling a bit disappointed. I was hoping to get better results than that. I was also wondering why people complain about the 3.5” shells, they didn’t kick that hard, but they didn’t shoot that well. Went to she store and bought more shells, and some 0000 steel wool. Next I went home and polished the barrel on my shotgun.

I left the range giggling inside, well all the way home. I found the sweet load for my gun. After shooting the 3.5” HV loads I know why people complain about the kick, my shoulder is still sore. Can’t wait until April 6th.
