Thread: Clay target loads on possums?

swings n roundabouts... open choke and heavy pellets and tight choke with light pellets will still poke about same amount of lead onto target..... but the few larger pellets will still penertrate out a wee bit further.. .also...not every load patterns the same... one load will be tighter than the other. and strangely enough a SLOWER load ofte npatterns tighter than a fast one..... you were talking about doing a black powder load.....it might be just the ticket heavy payload of say #3-4 shot trundling along at 1100ish fps it may pattern ok in open choke..only one way to find out. I can make that load patter n REALLY tightly when using a steel shot wad without splits in wad cup. or can a make it a spreader load with lots of splits.
