sirveyr Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 These photos were the result of a discussion about the pattern of buckshot in the confines of a home. Many people believe that all one needs to do is point the shotgun down the hall and pull the trigger. As we know, this is not the case. This is not meant to be a defensive shotgun thread, I am merely posting some photos that other may find useful.

Braxton1 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) These patterns are a BIT tighter than would ordinarily be expected. The common rule-of-thumb is "one inch of spread per yard downrange". That is the real advantage of the Remington Low-Recoil ammo. It patterns better than just about anything out there in my experience. Eight pellets stack so much better in the wadding because they are staggered in four layers of two, separated by a bunch of Grex buffering compound. You really oughta see what they'll do with a modified choke tube and a lengthened forcing cone....
