J B. I did pattern my gun but At 30 yards our local range only has a 30 yard range we are allowed shotguns on. At that range with rst 1 oz plastic wad I got a 25in pattern. With 1oz holland and holland light fibers wads I got a 32in pattern. There were a few strays in both but that was about the dia. I'm not sure what those 2 manufacturers use for shot. Any ideal??? Is that a pretty good pattern ??
