David,
I have patterned them through 3 different 12 gauge guns. Out to 30 yds., the only gun I had a slightly irregular pattern from was a german gun with a .716 bore size. Both of my Parkers showed very nice patterns.

A lot of it will depend upon your guns constriction.
Definitley pattern them.

I used them (for the first time) at the flurry at the Fall Southern.
I used them in a gun with 40 thous choke in each barrel and they gave me about a modified pattern.

Great product. In my experience RST makes nothing but excellent products.

IMO if you are shooting a spreader out of a already open choked gun you are handicapping yourself. (IC choke or skeet or cylinder) is not really a combo for spreaders unless the target is les 10 yards or less from you. (not a good combo because of the holes in the pattern)

Thanks guys. I am ordering some tomorrow. The left barrel on my lifter is pretty tight and a handicap on some true pairs.

Very hesitant to recommend anything on the double gun site, but very long thread working called "Pattern Theory". About page 4 John Campbell posted some photos of his spreader patterns at 50 feet. He's usually on the 16 G site rarely on double gun, and in my opinion has the best information on spreader loads. Nice fellow too. Most of my spreader education came from his information.

Have a look at his photos, want more search on 16g.com
