so at 45 yards - assuming a 1 1/8 ounce load of 8s that is about a 60% pattern.

bring it back 5 yards you may well be in the 70% range

the chokes on this gun are still .026 and .028

so - whether you use pellet count or choke constriction, that comes out to about imp mod- light full depending on what chart you use

i expect them to kill ducks and not wound them

Damn Rick! I KNEW I shoulda applied myself in math class...instead of sneaking out to fish and hunt!!!
