Mark,

Here are some photos I took of some patterns this summer, including the Fiocchi 1 1/8oz spreaders with size 8.5 shot. For comparison I used a basic Remington Game Load, with 1oz of 8s. The gun was a Beretta BL-4/12/30" M & F. The range was 20 yards, with a 30" circle on the paper.

I was very impressed with this load, and got similar results when shot out of a Franchi Falconet with M & F chokes that I shot that day as well.

Hope this helps,
Dave
