old ammo patterns
i have been testing some old remington 12 ga. shells that were made some were in the early 50 s they are rem. extra long range loads.3 3/4 1 1/4 oz loads. i shot them at 40 yards 30 inch circle.the shells were fired in a american arms 12 ga with 32 in. barrels full full chokes. this was aamerican made gun. the other gun used was a model 12 winchester.with a extra full comps choke.i for got to say these were no. 4 chilled shot. the shells gave very poor patterns there were gapping holes in patterns. a turkeys head could have been missed at40 yards with these loads.the patterns were very poor.so if iwere some of you turkey hunters out there shooting some of your vintage ammo .. i would patter it before going to the woods. charlie
