Since we've posted some patterns, this might be of interest. Unfortunately the image is not attributed and I haven't found the source, but it is labeled "photographs" rather than marketing dept. illustrations.

The only load with 304 pellets that I can find is 1 1/4 oz. Steel 5s per http://shotshell.drundel.com/pelletcount.htm

The only 1 1/4 oz. Steel 5 load I've found is Kent Teal Steel at 1350 fps.
Anyone recognize the image?



40 yd. - Cyl = 43%, Full = 76.6%;
50 yd. - Cyl = 25%, Full = 51% but if the bird was centered (and the pellets retained adequate energy) it should be dead in the air.
