shot loads

The reason for the terrible patterns at any extended range is mainly because the rifling in the bbl makes the shot spin out into a wide pattern quickly. I have a smooth bore 22 that shoots great? patterns with the little shot cartridges. Remington and Mossberg both made smooth bore 22's that they used to break clay targets with. They were named(appropriately) Mo-skee-to targets. even had little traps that mounted on the guns. Colt made a few smooth bore SAA's for the cowboy shows like Buffalo Bill Cody had. Couldn't shoot 44 or 45 bulleted rounds in a tent or a city ya know
