Just a thought - conventional patterning is done with a 30-inch circle at 40 yards. Just curious if you still have the papers, what percentages are you seeing in a 30 incher?
A 40-inch circle is 1256 sq inches and a 30 inch one is 707 sq inches. All things equal (absolutely even shot pellet distribution) - the 30-inch circle has only 56% of the area that the 40-inch one does, |

I remember the low being 137 in the 30, but that was one of the early shots that was over the edge of the paper so not everything could get counted. Some were into the low 160s What surprised me was according to the charts 1 1/4 oz of 4s should have about 165 pellets and I was counting more than that on the paper. When I checked a shell I counted 176. In either case, I think there is some goose and turkey potential here.

Traditionally, the 30" circle is drawn - after shooting at the pattern board - around the densest part of the pattern even if it is off-center of the POA.

samples
160 hits in 30 inches for the right 162 for the left I'll count others when I get back over and try again after making stock adjustment so that I can center them better.
