Pondering the unanswerable. Mr. Brown is obviously on the track. WAY too many variables to even pretend to have answers. Seems like that are just far too many masturbatory activities associated w/ shotgun "science". I wonder if that tells us anything about the "researchers" or their so-called results?

Best Bet - pattern your gun w/ whatever and satisfy yourself that it shoots where you want. Practice however suits you until you feel you can break/kill w/ whatever level of performance you are looking for.

Lotta whatevers?? You betcha. It's a shotgun. Get over it.
