Maybe I'll run into him again and let him shoot it, I had shot all 23rds I took with me though when he showed up. Im surprised 7/8 pellets stayed on the paper at 50 yards as my 8 gauge has no choke left it in. I tried to pattern some 000 out of the 10 gauge but they had no pattern at 50 yards. I noticed last night 000 stacks in even layers of 4 in the 8 gauge but seeing how hard the 41 cal round balls hit I now want to try tweaking the load. I wonder if developing a buffered load would help there is a ton of empty space around the .41 rbs. I tested my homemade 8 gauge shot cups also they work but could use some adjustments.
