You have me laughing pretty good. I can't remember how many of those little targets you hit with the 12 ga., but I seriously doubt you would have done any better with the .410. Remember, that pattern that you have on the paper is at something standing still. When a target flies/moves through a shot pattern/string, things can be very different.

By the way, smaller pellets will always pattern worse out of the same choke as larger pellets because they get deformed a lot more in the firing process and they weigh a lot less. Hence, they tend to deflect a lot easier as soon as they encounter air resistance. So, I am not surprised that the 9's patterned terribly.

Jack,

Very good point about the aiming error really coming into play on the edges of the pattern.

I hope you are laughing cause I know there is no way I would have hit to little greenies with the .410, Had hard enough time hitting them with the 12.

You on the other hand with that extra full choke in that Berretta did the job just right.

Let me know when you are free to go shooting. I can go just about any Sunday so maybe when it warms up a bit we can get keech away from the bay and Nalley and we can all go bust some clays together
