Oberfell and thompson's study showed a 10% decrease in pattern density for every 5 yards between 25 and 50. This was so consistent that some gurus recommend patterning at 30 yards and just calculating the pattern at 40. Thus, a 70% pattern at 30 is a 50% pattern at 40, or IC.

This is the right barrel of Remington 1894 10 gauge with the 19 gr of Red Dot load, 1 1/8 oz #6. 93% at 40 yards. If I had held 2 inches lower it would have been about 96%. In theory it could be shooting mid 70% at 50 yards. It's been a great gun in the field and my go to 10 gauge for waterfowl.
