I had a pleasant, if sweaty, few hours at the range with the gun today. I patterned it about 6 rounds through each tube, and it seems to shoot right about where I am looking. I'd call the patterns about 60/40, right where I like 'em, and say the chokes, about .009 and .020 probably throw a little tighter than I expected. Bores are right on .729, none of this backbore stuff, and I used Federal 1 oz loads of 8s for that, and a round of skeet, shot low gun. Not a great round, but, I expect I will improve. I always have to work up with a new gun. It was unpleasantly hot and humid, and I called off the war after 1 round, had a lemonaid with my son in the air conditioned clubhouse, then went home and had a beer while cleaning it up. I doubt I'll feed it anything too hot, it is a light gun, perhaps later in pheasant season a few big numbers, but, 1 oz patterns so sweetly it hardly seems worth it.
Very happy so far.
Many thanks, Geo.
Best,
Ted
