Yesterday, I finished our club pattern board and shot a pattern with my 40" Davenport with a ten to twelve chamber gauge. I used my 1 1/4 ounce #4 1175 fps lead load left over from pre-notox days and shot at about 48 yards. I shot another pattern with my 7/8 ounce #8 1175 fps loads. Either load was astounding in its coverage and density. I think that "slow" is best for pattern density and uniformity. I'm almost out of the #4 loads.
