Patterned my Benelli Today

[TBryan]

I finally got out to pattern my shotgun today. The wind was blowing a steady 20 mph. I shot 4 different loads. Remington Heavy shot 3 1/2 inch in both #5s and #6s, and the Federal Flight Control Copper Plated Lead 3 inch in both #5s and #6s using Benelli Nova, 26 inch barrel, Hi-Viz Tri-Viz sight, and a Kicks Gobblin Thunder .675 constricted choke. Shot it off of the Caldwell Lead Sled at 20, 30, and 40 yards.

The set up.

That lead sled is the ticket ain't it

Looks like you are ready.My Bennelli had similar results.It likes the Hevishot best but a load of Win Supreme #6 31/2 made a great pattern also.

Not to get off topic, but how was the Led Sled? Been thinking about getting one of them!

That lead sled is where its at!! I could barely feel a thing.
