Did some testing today
 

what is your thoughts are these patterns any good to hunt with ?

Dave don't you dare :happy0157:

Um....yeeaaahh I think that could kill a bird. You should be good.

My vote is yes!

Dead Tom! :)

Nah you better try a different choke. J/k looks great!! What combo are you shooting?

Dead Turkeys all day.

Great patterns but at what distance were you shooting? If thats a 35yd+ pattern your golden but if its 20yds or something you may wanna shoot it a little further bc sometimes it only takes an extra 5yds for a pattern to start to fall apart. Good luck.

One more thing is are you shooting a 2 3/4" or 3" shell? Those shot count numbers seem awfully low for Hevi 13 #7's if thats a 3 1/2" shell. I've taken apart the 3 1/2" #7's before and there is over double the shot count in the shell that you have in your pattern. Still a dead turkey regardless.

ok guys sorry forgot the spec's

Top left
Benelli Nova 20 gauge
Pure Gold .570
Hevi 13 - 3 inch, #6 , 11/4 oz loads
40 yards

Top right

Pure Gold .570
Hevi 13 - 3inch, #7, 1 1/4oz
40yards

Bottom
same gun
Indian Creek . 555
Hevi 13 - 3inch, #7, 1 1/4oz

All the chokes I had were up in .570 but one indian creek

Oh hell yea then. If your getting patterns like that out of 1.25oz shells you couldn't ask for anything more and are probably putting every piece of shot in the shell on the paper. Congrats on a great set up. Nothing does more for me than confidence knowing my equipment isn't something I need to worry about.
