10 bore · 07-12-2013, 05:28 PM

here is a test pattern with my new to me 12 ga 3 frame VHE, 32 in barrels choked .040 in both barrels. str. griped stock . this is an 1 1/4 oz load of 6's with a load count of 275. it put 230 in the 30 in ring for 84%

got to love it, still not sure if its has 3 in. chambers.

Brian Dudley is restoring a 3 frame DH 10 gauge for me and one of the improvements is a new set of no. 3 frame 12 gauge barrels, so I am looking forward to trying it out.
