That is my point, where is the shot going? The numbers don’t make sense but they make sense with my kill percentage, experience in the field with this gun, and the wounded bird shenanigans that occurred today. 4 shots at a stationary rooster pheasant from 20 yards unobstructed? The pattern board makes perfect sense to me actually.

I can’t make heads or tails of it. These are factory loads, did they not put 7/8 of an oz in?
