JR.The best advice I can give ya is to try diffrent shot sizes and diffrent brands and see what patterns best from your gun.What patterns best outta my gun may not be any good at all outta your gun and vica-versa.Rather than buy lots of diffrent shells and then bein stuck with a bunch that don't pattern well.maybe you can borrow diffrent shells from some of your buddies.Only takes a couple of each to know if they'll pattern or not.
