In a case of “looking for one thing and finding another” I found this quote from Phil Bourjaily, shotgun editor at Field & Stream, to be interesting. It’s from a 2019 article in F&S.
“When I had the Federal enginers pattern-test every gauge for me in an attempt to find out why the 28 gauge is magic, what we found instead was that the 16 seemed to be (the) real magic gun in terms of pattern efficiency.”
I’d like to know more of how Federal conducted the tests but I can’t find anything.
Have any of you seen the results of this or similar tests or done testing of your own? I even wonder how they defined “pattern efficiency.”
