Range Report: Patterned my 870
I patterned my 870 this weekend,
I've been working on this gun for about a year, getting bits and pieces together. This started off as my old Synthetic Stocked 870 express duck gun. It has a 18.5" fixed I/C barrel, extension is by Scattergun Tech. Railed Barrel Clamp is a Mesa Light is a Surefire TRL-1s I had the Federal F127 laying around, LE132 came from SGammo.com purchased on 11/7/12 Target was a cardboard box 20 steps away. (I'm 6') Cardboard box is about as wide as a man, and about 5' tall Two rounds of each were fired from the same distance and location. (Of note: the TRL-1s came free of the rail on the third shot. It will need to find a new home, not on this shotgun.) Results: F127: 13 pellets on target, assuming none went where the wad went. Pattern was about 18" LE132: I count 18, and about an 8" circle. The F127 preformed great, but I'm very impressed with the LE132.
