why?????

a 24 inch circle is about 63% of the area of a 30 standard pattern circle

so- assuming an even spread - that is about 273 pellets in a 30 inch circle at 45 yards - 5 yards past standard range

so at 45 yards - assuming a 1 1/8 ounce load of 8s that is about a 60% pattern.

bring it back 5 yards you may well be in the 70% range

the chokes on this gun are still .026 and .028

so - whether you use pellet count or choke constriction, that comes out to about imp mod- light full depending on what chart you use

i expect them to kill ducks and not wound them
