I took the gun back to the range tonight for pattern testing and this time I had my gun vise. I went through my notes and loaded up two shells of 1 1/8 of magnum #6. Federal hull 2 7/8". W-W 209 primer, 22.5 gr of Green Dot, SP10 wad, 1/2 fiber filler wad, fold crimp. The gun shot a little bit high and to the left. The right barrel with .037 gave a pattern 77.2% in a 30" circle at 40 yards, the left barrel with .040 produced a pattern of 87.4%. The tag on the gun said it was full and X-full. Seems like that is about right.
