Something is wrong with your numbers, there is no way you have 895 pellets in a 1 5/8 oz load, I think that should be 174 in the 20. If I am wrong, I want me some of those shells...

[hawglips]

That should be 574 in the 20", not the 10-20".

[pullit]

So your saying you put 321 hits in the 10 AND you put 574 more hits in the 20".....
Or are you saying you put 321 in the 10 and 253 in the 20 for a TOTAL of 574?

10" has 321 and 253 in between the inner 10" and 20" for a grand total of 574 hits inside the total 20" ring.

Ok I can believe that, just was wondering how you could get that may pellets in a 1 5/8 oz load

This needs to be a sticky in the small bore section. I was trying to find it the other day and never did. STICKY DOUG...STICKY!!!

Over the years I have learned with TSS that barrel length plays a part but not a big part. TSS takes more open chokes than other HTL shots to get good patterns. However what I have learned with all is longer barrels normally can use a more open choke. Not 100% but most times. It's like anything else. Trial and error to find the choke and pattern you want.

2nd shot- 291 10" 257 in the 10" to 20" 548 total 20"

Shot my son's youth 870 today to make sure it was "on" for youth season Saturday. Figured I'd run it through analytics.

322 in the 10".

.555 IC choke, Big 20 XL #9s.

So did anyone make a 2 oz 20 gauge load? Hal I know you said you were thinking about it in an earlier post. The 5XL load?
