If I had known it was that distance, I wouldn't have taken the shot. None the less, I was impressed that I got that range.
73 yards with #7 hevi shot... Ok so what your saying is I should be able to kill a bird at 70+ yards with lead #5's??? If you said 55-60 I might buy it, Might... But 73 yards... Oh boy |

I think Mr Longbeard needs to spend more time practicing his aim than bashing Hevi-13 loads. |
50 yds is too far most shotguns unless you put a lot of 7's in his head and neck at that distance you should use magnum blend 5,6,7's they are deadly.An Ethical shot is the maximum killing range for your gun I dont like to shoot them over 40 yds.
