Patterning at different ranges on a piece of paper is one thing.

Any gauge loads can have great pattern at various ranges.

At extended ranges the knock down power is most important.

This is a little more difficult to test.

Get some thick cardboard and test at different ranges. See which loads penetrate best at various ranges.

I have seen tss loads makes perfect patterns at 45 yards but the turkey hit the ground and then got up and flew off.

Sorry tss loader guys but the truth will set you free.

Good luck.
