I still get some fragmenting with copper plated Boss, but not near as much as with Kent.

I’m not sold on the Kent’s yet. I’d been wondering if velocity up close has been causing them to fracture and get poor penetration.
Pretty small sample and some shooter error but I haven’t had a clean kill in the 20 yd range yet. 3 have been hit but not well and kept flying. Another 2 have been hammered but moved on the ground, 1 of them quite a ways. The 3 I’ve shot at 30-40 have been dead when they hit the ground.
Part of it is that I’m choked 25-35

I think you said this in another post, but start chokes did you go with again? And are you shooting a franchie 12 gauge or is that someone else ?

It’s through a fabarm LM LM top and bottom. I haven’t been able to do any bettter IM gives me a few more pellets but donuts I think? And I had a choke made that’s between IM and Full. It donuts too but not as much and gives me an honest 70 percent.
LM in a beretta pintail patterns about like the fabarm.
I’ve shot a few through a benelli I m2 and a franchi with factory modified chokes and they pattern kind of square.

Boss for my 20 & 28's, shoot 3" #5's out of my 20 and I shoot 3" #5's out of one of my 28's and 2 3/4 #4's out of the other. All the guns are Beretta A400's, I shoot IC early season and switch to LM or M for the remainder of the season usually around the middle of november.
