Brought home this little gun today. Shurshot stock is here but I'm going to get it camoed so ill shoot it like it is to pattern it. Gotta go roll up some loads so I can see what she'll do tomorrow. 18-3/4" barrel 20 gauge.

You should enjoy that little gun! I have a 21" one and it is a great turkey gun.

Best pattern yesterday was with a flush mount .575 Carlson's. It was 233/10. I also shot the .585 flush, .575 extended, .585 Trulock, and Factory modified. I ran out of pattern paper so I only fired each one once. It's got a little more work to do in order to get where I want it. Seemed to like a clean barrel, oh well.

Sweet little gun. Those Timney triggers sure are nice. I have one in my 11-87. Set it to 4 lbs.

9's It still has a little ways to go to get it where I want it. I load mine without the buffer, but I think this gun might really need some, so I rolled a few up that I'll shoot in the morning. I was thinking maybe it wasn't choked tight enough, being such a short barrel, so I fired a .560 Kicks and it was awful. I think it was 124 in the 10 at 40. My other guns seem to shoot fine without buffer, but I'm hoping that's what will put this one over the edge.
