They aren’t dieng now so I will try 7.5’s. I have nothing to lose. Right now it’s a clean miss, I just hate wounding birds. My buddy put the one in the tree today with his 20 gauge 7’s.

Pattern closer than before to see what the pattern is doing. But, I agree that the velocity is too high.
I shoot many different vintage doubles and stay under 1200 with all loads. Around 1150 to 1165 is what most of my guns are regulated for. Go with a heavy-for-guage payload, like a 1 oz. in 20 gauge, and the lower velocity. That combination of low muzzle velocity and heavy payload seems to pattern and regulate best in my vintage doubles. I have a 20 ga. Sterlingworth Fox Ejector that cross fires to the tune of 8" at 25 yards with 1250 fps, 7/8 oz. loads . . . . both barrels. However, with 1 oz. loads at 1150-1165 fps it puts the left and right barrel's patterns dead atop each other and dead on the POA. Loads just have to be matched to the individual S X S gun for the best performance. |

What Stan H. Said. I think you are going to have to go and really find out what your pattern is doing with your loads. All the loads and shot shot sizes you are planning on using unfortunately.

For me it's 7 1/2s or 6s on pheasants.

Burt Becker and the boys in the Fox plant figured out that speed don't kill nor does it result in good patterns, usually. See the attached as copied from the brochure detailing the Super Fox.

We had a CSMC 28 gauge with skeet and IC chokes (measured as such). Wife shot the Win factory 1 OZ loads of 6 shot. Those Pheasants dropped like Thor's Hammer hit em. All shots were at 25 yards over dogs. The recovered pellets had a fair amount of distortion which prob contributed to killing power . Generally 8-10 pellets in each of the birds. Might try some of these shells.
