190's is what I get at 40 in 10" on my POA with 2.25oz #6's..........and that's with a highly polished bore and forcing cone and Indian creek tube.

If you can get that pattern on your POA you're in the chips because that pattern is EXCELLENT for straight 5's at that range.

i love my new setup. cant wait to take off some turkey heads with it

i shot the same shell at 30 yds...and it hit perfect. not high
i also shot winchestr supremes at 30 yds. it didnt hit high ether.

Sounds like operator error on the 40 yd target. Best to verify though.
