Short 10 pattern photos

It is hard to know how that gun and load compares to others as the industry standard measure is the % of pellets in a 30" circle at 40 yards. I have a 10ga Remington 1894 that shot 92/93% with 1 1/8 #6. When I took the same load and added an X Stream spreader insert the pattern opened up to 58% if I recall correctly. It would be interesting to see what your gun and loads are doing at 40 yards.

My EH is M and IM and it crushes targets on the skeet field . Of the ones I missed it wasn't because of the tight chokes but rather the idiot shooting the gun stopping his swing

Dean no doubt the gun was built for 40 yards and longer. I only use spreaders for close clay targets. We have one clays course nearby that throws all short targets, even if long they curl making short shot the best one. Hot shot modern gun shooters use skeet chokes at that place.

I avoid it preferring courses with long targets, however when you have a 20 yard bird, and choked tight, spreader is a good thing to have .

Shoot skeet at Piedmont and Horseshoe . Sporting is where ever , but usually it's at Central Va . If I wanna shoot a 10 then the Flying Rabbit is the place to go .
