[QUOTE="Joe2Kool, post: 5069462, member: 1621"] Hmmm. You are correct. Some combinations of load and choke will do that. I must be older than I want to admit because before all the super-tight and long-range patterns, 100 at 40 yards was considered good. Anyway, when I had a pattern that tight, I whiffed a couple times inside 20 yards. Obviously my expert calling and hunting skills were better than my shooting skills! :) :) I've settled on a combination that puts about 100-125 in a 10" circle at 40 yards. That makes the 45 yard line the line to cross. But also gives a wide enough pattern at 20 to avoid the whiff. Different topic, you talk to Ole Goat lately? Trying to talk him into going to Nebraska with me in April. [/QUOTE]
