[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 4134544, member: 15527"] First pattern with new crow load! Remington 870 34" Hastings Wadlock barrel with factory flush mounted full choke First day of crow season, but no time to hunt today 😞 Pattern was shot @ 40 yards. 12 ga. load has 210 copper plated #6 pellets / load is buffered 100% pattern @ 40 yards with ALL pellets well inside a 20" circle Front and back of pattern shown [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20231011_021415051~2.jpg"]418520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20231011_021758007~2.jpg"]418521[/ATTACH] This would make for one heck of a turkey load if I had a place to hunt them. 🤔 Time permitting, I will shoot a modified choke tube and see what kind of pattern I get with that. The full choke that I used for this testing shoots way too tight for pass shooting crows! If the modified choke tube shoots a tight pattern at 40 yards, I'll shoot a second pattern at 50 yards and see what that looks like, as most crows will be shot somewhere between 40 and 50 yards at the places I will be hunting. I'll post pictures of the modified choke tube tests as soon as I can get a chance to shoot them. As a side note here, this is the first time I have shot a cupped wad without petals, and I am more than a little surprised that it shot such a tight pattern at 40 yards with a standard full choke! This barrel is straight rifled with polygonal rifling, and the only thing I have done to the inside of the barrel was lengthen the forcing cone to 2" and put a micro polish on both it and the chamber.
