28 ga
went to the range today, using a beretta o/u 28ga. flush mount x full choke shooting a duplex 7 and 7.5's in copper. my 30 yd. target looks like your 50 yd. and my 35 yard is just a pinch better than you 60 yd. at 40 yd. at least 1/2 the birds i would hit in the head and neck would run off being hit about 6 times someplace. haven't tried the hevy stuff as i lack the wad to protect the barrel. tomorrow will try shooting nickel shot. anyway, what i came away with, at 35 yards, a dead turkey and at 40 a wounded one. just for whatever
cheers |
And for Clarification sake.
The Hevi shot threads are NOT deleted but where moved to be edited. I don't delete posts and if there is a probelm I do contact the person responsible. Yes there is some good information in those threads. But there is also so alot of crap and bashing and by several posters. Be warned if this thread also goes south the guilty will go with it!

Well if memory serves me right going off of what I seen of your patterns before that were right around a 150 avg at 40yds with that same gun, choke and load, I can't for the life of me going off of my years of personal patterning experience see how you could only lose 100 shot going from 40yds to 60yds. The exact same thing can be said from 40yds to 50yds and only losing 50 shot. That would be like saying if your gun shot a 250 30yd pattern you should be able to post a 200 shot pattern at 40yds. I don't know a 20GA out there than can do this with that same load regardless of the choke.

***I would have to agree. I think the comment by Adrian himself as to the pellet count in his 1 1/4 oz load being so low compared to a 12 gauge shows that his gun is nowhere near a 60 yard gun and the target he posted at that distance proves it! I'd sure want a lot more pellets in the head/neck than what that picture shows to be shooting at a live bird with it.
It's gonna take TSS handloads to make a 20GA a 60yd killer. |
Very good comments gentlemen time to move on.

For a 20ga not bad... I've actually thought about getting a 20ga for turkey hunting...
