I know we have some serious duck hunters on here and I'd appreciate any feedback on this pattern. It's a tss #8 load with one ounce of shot, so there are 250 shot in the shell. That's more than a 1.25 oz load of #4 steel, and these should penetrate like #3 lead. Velocity is 1335. I am not a duck hunter, but I am going on a hunt in OK in December. These are gonna cost about $65 a box, but they recoil less than a dove load, and that's important for a guy with my back issues. I shot this pattern with an IC choke. It put 85% inside the 30" circle, with a 70/30 spread that I like for wing shooting. It obviously is denser on the left, but I think that will just be a shell to shell variation. I think it's still too tight of a pattern, and I probably need to try a skeet choke. Thanks for any comments.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
