As all of us know, this "long range" hype among the Fox, Parker, and Smith people comes out fairly equally on the pattern board. The best long range 1 1/4 ounce #4 lead shot patterns I have shot came from a 30" Sterlingworth and will probably be equaled by other Sterlingworths, Parkers, Smiths, and Super Foxes in years to come. I still have those pattern sheets and still have the #4 lead shot loads to test. I could fire the Super Foxes at the same pattern sheets, but would be unlikely to improve on the 90% patterns thrown by my old Sterlingworth. Of course, I could give it a try. I wonder how the Nash Buckingham 1 3/8 ounce copper #4 Super X loads would print on paper? I have a few of the old lead #4 loads squirrelled away. Maybe someone could give up a few of the copper 1 3/8 ounce loads to compare.
