Friday the wind was howling after the storms blew through, but I really wanted to pattern a bit so I began to clean 3 of my guns. After a few hours of intensely scrubing my 870sm, Charles Daly auto, and Win 1300 the wind had reduced a bit with mostly gust. I moved my bench and target stand into a trail through the brush and as I thought the thick leafy brush was breaking the wind a good bit.
All shots were at a measured 40 yds and the chrono was set at 5 feet from the muzzle. 10" circle counts. 65 deg, light breeze

All turkey killing patterns. Those White shells sure are nice
That 870 w/ Rem VL and White H13 is going to be hard to beat. Best 10 bucks I've spent on a choke, thanks Skiebuster!
Ya'll have a good one,
