FullFan	Quote: We've all talked about patterning shotguns and I don't ever recollect anyone saying to try different chokes and loads and shoot the 2nd best pattern you come up with. I like that, good summary Can't tell you how many posts on patterning end up like this when Nitro's are involved. I'm guessing nearly everyone that tries them never go back to typ. brands. I'm not trying to sell anybody any or anything, just trying to save someone a shoulder ache if they are thinking of getting serious with patterns. U'll never understand until u see the pattern on paper and in action in the field.

Remington heavyshot 5 and 6's All shot good out to 30 yards after that they fell all to pieces. Do you think I should try 4 shot or start buying more choke tubes? _________________ If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.
