[J.B. Books]

I agree Charlie the pellets have to be closer to 7 than 7.5 to be that weight with that number of pellets.

Your a patient man to hand count them like that. I weigh 10 pellets to get a per pellet average weight. Then divide that number into the actual weight of the full shot charge to determine how many pellets are in a load.

Bill I agree a 12ga shooting 90% and better is phenomenal. I wanted to check in with Charlie because of the disparity between his pellet count and his stated weight for the shot size used.

Charlie I think you would pick up a few more pellets in the circle when the circle is 30" instead of 28". Let us know as that sounds like a great gun for long range.

I have been thinking about taking the load I used where I got 93% and using copper coated shot and buffer to see if it could be tightened up even further. I'll do that another day as it is pouring here now.
