i patterned the 10 ga remington ae grade today..30 inch circle 40 yards..no6 shot lead..there was 186 no 6 shot in each of loads fired...right barrel had 130 hits the left barrel had 161 hits..so now i need somebody to tell me what percentage this old gun is throwing..i cannot find my calculator and shore forgot how to divide it...

.6989247 % in right barrel and .8655913 % in left barrel so , extra full in left and full in right. nice

Charlie, what are you shooting for a load, are you sure it was #6? I ask because there are supposed to be 225 #6 to an ounce. 186 would be under 7/8 ounce which seems light for a 10.

It just so happens there are 186 #4 pellets to a 1 3/8 ounce load.

pete i have a old shot and powder measuring cup i got some where that i used for measuring the loads i shot..itwas set on 1 1/8 ounce but its wrong for sure i counted the load..i guess i need to get me another measuring cup..i thought there should be more than 186 of no 6 in this load...no 6 for sure...i will have to make up some more loads and retry the old remy..one thing for sure this gun shoots dead center on aim both barrels... charlie

well i patterned the old 10 ga remy again this evening...i weighed out 1 1/8 ounce of no 6 shot.pattern board 30 inches at 40 yards..here are the results i did not have time to count the shot of no 6 in a 1 1/8 ounce load so maybe one of yall can look at the chart s..the rs barrel put 210 holes in the paper the l s barrel put 204 in the paper now whats the percentage. charlie

210/253 = 83%, 204/253 = 80.6%

my old shot cup is off 2 notches i had to bring it down to 1 3/8 ounce mark to hold the weighed no 6 shot.. charlie

heh pete you still got the shootiest remy...ha guess i m gona have to trade guns...charlie

Charlie you might want to try a different powder/load, my patterns used 22 grains of Green Dot. Green Dot is well known for producing tight patterns.

green dot it will be for the next round of pattern s.. charlie
