Keep us updated on you progress .
Oh, I am fully aware of how things like shot strings work and how much ( or little ) certain things affect them, but this is just a bit of fun to see if the shot swarm is increased at all by three times the pellet count or if the patterns are at all effected by the fact that I shoot a set of 6" 28 gauge adapters in a cylinder bore 12 gauge hammer double!
I have read books by Greener, Burrard, Bristor Hartman and Roster since I was young, but after reading what some "experts " say on the internet I am amazed that I am able to hit anything with my guns let alone pheasants and geese!!
