Since we've posted some patterns, this might be of interest. Unfortunately the image is not attributed and I haven't found the source, but it is labeled "photographs" rather than marketing dept. illustrations.

The only load with 304 pellets that I can find is 1 1/4 oz. Steel 5s per http://shotshell.drundel.com/pelletcount.htm

The only 1 1/4 oz. Steel 5 load I've found is Kent Teal Steel at 1350 fps.
Anyone recognize the image?



40 yd. - Cyl = 43%, Full = 76.6%;
50 yd. - Cyl = 25%, Full = 51% but if the bird was centered (and the pellets retained adequate energy) it should be dead in the air.

I smell Greener.

Every pattern he published was perfect, just like those.

Ballistic equivalent of the SI swimsuit issue... unobtainable but fun to look at.

Jones, I like that line!

Note that the cylinder pattern at 20 yards puts more pellets in the circle than does the full at 40 yards, and cylinder at 30 is better than full at 50 . . . clearly demonstrating why very open chokes are very good choices for clays or birds at close range.
