there still around.. at 70 long steps and a can hung up on a steel pole is my patterning board...so far my record with any gun is 7 hits in can with no 5 s in a 3 inch loading of 1 7/8 ounce in asmith and wesson auto 12 ga.... but i do appreciate the fellows efforts here their way is the proper way to pattern a shotgun at long range.and it takes patieance to do this..i have shot the 30 inch circle a many of a time have never owned a gun that would put a 100 percent of shot in the 30 circle at 40 yards yet..but would love to own one that would and there are some that will...charlie
