Lil pop to that one in the O/U? Nasty tight pattern!

Great buck! Congrats!

Lol, I like "Braver" better than the other word you could have used.

It has a little pop to it for sure, not like I was expecting at all. Just stout, not a punisher like a Longbeard.

Same gun and choke. I think each shell was slightly different. Have to wait for Hal to chime in. If ya look at overall 20" numbers they are very close.

Hal's told me it is over 1100.

Tried a couple of Hal’s new “MOA” loads. 2 1/8oz 3” thru Sa20 with .565 Carlson’s.

Sent a couple of Hal’s new 2 3/4” loads downrange. Shot thru Sa20 and Carlson’s .565
Not too shabby!

Dang thats an awesome, gnarly looking buck! Congrats!

That awesome Gil!! Smoked em.

Are we talking about for deer or coyotes? Coyotes to 100 would be much easier.

I have patterned some 2 3/4" 1 1/4oz TSS 4mm to 60. It has plenty of pattern density and penetration energy for that distance. I would think you would need to shoot a fast load of 1 3/4oz of maybe 4.5-5mm to get acceptable density and penetration at 100. Still be a stretch I think.

Doesn't get any better than that! Awesome pattern.

Awesome! That may be good a smidge past 40.5!

Awesome work Hal!

Gotcha, love the SX3.

Crazy!! What are your numbers at 40?

This guys did some interesting testing http://www.predatormastersforums.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3074269. I wonder if 6's would still pattern ok thru turkey choke. Most if my yote hunting is opportunistic while I am after a turkey. Be nice to have a load that would smoke one...

I would say you are right on all accounts. You would have more room to speed up the load and still be in safe pressures.
I don't know the shot strings would compare.

It may work, but may be to tight if a choke. I would find a .720ish choke for tss.

Wow! Awesome season!

Awesome season!! Thanks for sharing, look forward to your report at the end of every season.

Same velocity?

ok question most guys say 20 will do everything a 12 will my question is wouldn't a 12 gauge 3 1/2" shooting tss9 kill farther..? its got to have more whop behind it Not necessarily. A #9 pellet going 1100fps is going to have same amount of energy no matter if it is fired out of a 10 gauge or ...

Wow! Umm 1,000 congrats. Probably didn't hurt things starting off the year with a Natty for the Tigers!
