They are definitely stout loads but unfortunately I patterned around 5 different loads with this gun and these are the only ones that gave me a good pattern. The 1200-1330fps load patterns were awful.
I finally found a shell my gun likes. Kent fast lead 12 gauge number 5 and 6. Both are giving me excellent patterns at 30 yards with a modified choke. I hunt over a flusher and most of my shots are around 20-35 yards on stocked birds. Which one would you choose? The paper is 36"x32".
Any suggestions for a cheap shotgun to take out on the handful of rainy days that happen on my days off that I don't want to stay home? 12 or 20 doesn't matter.
I just got my son a mossberg youth pump. The IC choke patterned awful at 30 yards with multiple different brands. We got way better patterns with the mod choke.
