For pattern testing, I don't think you have to use expensive shot. My patterns shot with my old #4 lead duck loads, 1 1/4 ounce, Herco powder, were so tight when fired out of a .040 choked Sterlingworth, that the 60 yard patterns would fill a mallard full of shot. At 40 yards, the patterns were too tight to shoot at any bird. With harder shot, that gun may have shot patterns in the mid 90s at 40 yards. I still take these pattern sheets out occasionally, just for a look.
