There are no gimmicks, or "I saw a chip" in box birds. It's either in or out.
BTW, I have always pattern tested every load and every choke on the P-gun.
Never had to do that with the NSFW GHE. You put em in the pattern, and that old Parker turned em into a dish rag!
When I was competing I had several friends that were very adamant about patterning their skeet guns with each gauge set of tubes and they were worried about even quadrants in their patterns . I’ve never worried about pattern density or diversity to much although I will say I patterned my 10 gauge Bismuth loads at forty yards . I was more intrested in the center of the pattern to wear I was aiming/pointing . I never ever wanted to see 410 patterns , looking at 410 patterns can have a negative affect on one’s confidence . I still say I’ve never been much count at any of the games skeet, trap , sporting or pigeons but I’ve had an awful lot of good luck/fortune
