pedler is right, steel shot will shoot your eye out when it richochets from the steel. Use my flpichart paper method.
And you all do wear safety glasses, right? I sure do.

Couple of questions on your objecives.
Do you wand to do comparitive patterns - this load/gun vs that load/gun? Do you want "some idea" of what patterns look like? Do you plan to makd decisions as to loads and guns from the patterns? Are you familiar with the book, "Sporting Shotgun Performance" by Dr. Jones, along with his free Insights pattern analysis program?
Depending on above answers, I may have some suggestions.

I'll be needing 40 Kribbs for Sherrif signs, please and a couple real estate signs to go.
This has gone places I certainly didn't expect and it's all good. I have way too many sidebysides and love each one of them. I intend to compare a variety of ammo using about the same load in a variety of guns, 12 and 16 ga. Lots of shots. No steel shot, though.
I'm thinking paper has the value of providing a record for some comparisons, afterwards but for specific guns comparing loads the paint or grease is perfect.

Franco, current research indicates that patterns are so variable that shooting less than a group of 10 can easily lead you astray. One of the reasons there are so many points of view and differing beliefs about shotgun performance stems from shooting too few patterns to draw statistically valid conclusions. Also, "eyeball" of all those little pellet holes doesn't seem to work out. The mentioned book shows how to use digital photos to record patterns and feed the computerized Insight program for statistical output. Do it right and make your work count - my suggestion.

When you've shot enough patterns to know what a good one looks like it's easy to get over the hole counting.

Last Dollar says that Joe makes him laugh. Rocketman's last two posts make me laugh until I cry. I tried to get a 40X40 pattern sheet into my scanner. Now I have a real mess on my hands.

Joe, I hope you guys are wearing football helmits when you pattern on a greased steel plate. Does Joe Biden pattern his guys in a simlar fashion? You made an old man laugh! Chops
