Did you shoot the 000 and 00 at 25 yards too? What was the average diameter of the spread?

Yeah usually I shoot everything at 25 and occasionally at 50 . Never have measured the spread on any of the patterns I’m usually just intrested to see how many of them stayed on the box . Old gun isn’t doing to terribly bad for what i’d call a beater .

I’ve gotten someone I trust to stay in the house with my father , so I can get out for six hours two to four days a week . I have my Ravin crossbow ready , still need some more work with my new Remington 700 Ultimate ML , have my very new Remington 700 6mm-06 ready to go with Berger 6mm 115 grain VLD’s . Have the 338 Federal I got at the Jerry’s going out of buisness sale ready to go and I changed scopes on my Ruger #1H 416 REM Mag as I’d like to plunk one with it . Next week if able I wanna work some more with the ML and check my Mannlicher Schoenauer MC 30-06 carbine with the five loads I had for it last season . Also wanna get the little Ruger #3 that was a 44 Mag and was already a 444 when I got it with two or three of the loads I had for it last season . And last but not least the blued Ruger RedHawk that’s scoped!

When I started messing with 0000 and 00000 home cast buckshot I knew it was going to take a little outside the box execution in loading . But if I had an 8 gauge I bet the .380” (0000) and .395” (00000) would fit pretty well . By fit well I mean inside the SP-8 shotcup where as I remove the SP-10 petals and use a .003 Mylar wrap in my 10’s . Well actually in recent months I’ve started trying that with 000 and 00 as well .

FWIW I was at the range today and had along my nicer 10 lifter . I patterned 0000 and 00000 at 25 yards from both barrels .

Which barrel/choke do these targets represent?

White box is left brown box is right . I don’t think this gun has much if any constriction . But if it gets carried any this year it’s gonna be stuffed with 0000 buck !
