I like them and would recommend. I bought them for under $400 each. I got the 12 this year on sale for $349.


How do they pattern?


They pattern well.


Pattern is one part, Shot string is another. One dimensional doesn't tell the whole story. Patterns can and will change from shell to shell manufacturers.

I don't know what HCDH66 considers well, but I look outside the circle a lot! I want to see what I am getting for flyers. A good even pattern that looses a lot to flyers I would not call good.

I'm not much of a shot gunner so forgive a dumb question. What is the difference in pattern and shot string?

Pattern is a picture of your shot on impact of a flat board with a 30" circle drawn on it. One dimensional.

Shot string is the column of the shot once it leaves your barrel and for the most part the wad has fallen away. it is a three dimensional picture.

So what this basically means is the Pattern is a very limited view of that is going on, while the shot string is a better representation of what is really going on.


Some others here maybe able to say it better than I did.

Edit by the way not a dumb question.

If you have a long drawn out shot string, it could still look great on the pattern board. But in flight to the target there could be big enough gaps that you don't get a break or a killed bird.
