can shooting

[charlie cleveland]

was out doing a little spot shooting this afternoon...the distance was 70 steps the target a 12 ounce aluminun can a dr pepper can to be exact...gun used american arms hamerless double.32 inch barrels choke modified both barrels..shells used were winchester and remington...no 4 no 5 no 6 size shot used... the gun has 3 1/2 inch chambers... first shell fired was a 3 inch rem. premier hevi shot 1 5/8 ounce of 4 s..4 hits in the can.... next waswinchester super xturkey load 2 3/4 inch 1 1/2 ouncelead no 5 s only 1 shot in the can...next was winchestor xx copper plated no 4 shot only 1 shot in the can..next a winchester supreme elite extended range 3 inch 1 3/4 ounce no 6 shot lead 4 hits in can... next waswinchester supreme turkey load 3 1/2 inch 2 ounce load of no 5 shot lead.4 hits in can.. all the shells fired were shot 3 times each so this was the average hits per shell used... my conclusion isthat the top grade shells used would patern better by far better than the cheaper loads...so if you dont load your own shells and your buying them at the store it would be better in my book to buy them high grade shells for they will pattern far better at long ranges... some of you fellas step off 70 long steps and see how many shot your favorite turkey gun will put in a soft drink can of 12 ounce size and see the difference thebetter grade shells do at this distance....no i aint gonna be shooting turkeys at this range...... charlie
