301T Range session
I put the smallest scope that I had laying around on it which happened to be a CHEAP UTG tactical type scope. Anyway...it worked perfectly.
I cleaned the shotgun spotless, relubed , put some antiseize on the choke threads and headed to the range.
I did not have any turkey head targets but did have some 8" shoot and see type targets and some brown paper.
I did boresnake in between shots.
At 20 yds and a 13/16oz load of T8 looked like this on an 8" target circle. 40yds with a 13/16oz load of T9.5 put 153 in a 10" drawn around what looked to be the densest part. (Yeah I numbered the holes) And 40yds again with 13/16oz of T9. It patterned a bit to the right of the 8" target and I did not count the 10". Very limited time today but I am thrilled with the initial performance.

Yes.
I didn't shoot any T9 or T9.5 at 20. I would imagine equally as devastating.
Wads all opened perfectly

Devastating! Wow.
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

T9.5 smokin pattern. 20 is crazy tight but figured it would be. Good job.

I just run my finger down through the center and make sure they are all split down to the bottom evenly.
It splays the petals out a little but they go right back into position when placed into the hull.

Re: 301T Range session
Thanks guys.
I still kind of want to try another choke, but I really don't have to.
