lc smithlong range

[charlie cleveland]

today i patterned the full choke barrel of the lc smith... a 28 inch cardboard circle was used as pattern board at 40 yards..a federal field load low brass shell was used a 1 1/8 ounce of 7 1/2 was used.i cut open a federal shell and counted the pellets there was 342 pellet count..after i shot the target i counted the no of hits they was 314 hits in circle.. i used a calculator and did the divideing thing and came up with 91.5 percent of the load was in circle.. pretty good pattern... not as good as petes old 10 ga remington but close... charlie
