    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.

        How come you all are worried about the box and tree, did I post this on the wrong forum?

          The box and tree was more interesting.

            So how did the pattern compare to POA?

              Exactly my thought.

                POA was dead on. Jerked the trigger a bit on the second round of F127, it shows high
