Shotguns

I'm no expert either BF, but I would say that is a pretty wide spread there. Sterling isn't really something I would pick for hunting or SD though.

I got some better stuff for HD, sterling is just cheap plinking stuff. but i'm with you on the too wide a spread. probably nothing i can do on that one. this Dickenson has a lot tighter group with that sterling.

As an example, with a 1301, cylinder bore and Federal Flite Control 00B I want to say my pattern is about 5" at 15 yards.

Maybe i should try the cylinder bore on that gforce then.

I would try everything. The standard rules don't always apply. Generally tighter chokes equal tighter patterns, but that isn't always true. A lot depends on the wad, buffering, shot material/plating, number of pellets, etc.

For the record I prefer cylinder bore for all SD shotguns. And I would never shoot slugs out of anything tighter than Improved Cylinder.
