Default RE: Patterned the 10ga today!

gobble stopper, I have bought mixed boxes of loads from Nitro last year and this year and they let me get 2 of each shot size. Got my last box within the last 2 weeks. Either they are changing policy or you caught him on a bad day. I suggest you e-mail or call Sandy. She is great and will fix you right up however you want the order.

I shoot the 101L and it pushes 3 ounces out at 1200 feet per second. Not sure how that compares to factory loads. But mine are #4 nickel shot, so I'm not worried about energy.

A tip on patterning. My SP10 is a relatively heavy gun and is gas operated. Even so, the 3 ounce loads are murder on your shoulder. I don't worry about that in the woods, cause you don't feel it. But at the patterning bench it can cause problems with jerking the trigger and flinching. I finally started carrying a heavy jacket to the range with me. I roll it up and put it between the gun and shoulder. Now I know this will not simulate field conditions exactly, but I figure it is best to have the gun steady and not pull off than otherwise.

No jakes!
