I patterned a gun yesterday using RST's "2 1/2" loads (20 ga. 7/8oz 7.5s @ 1150 fps; despite the name, the case is 2.75"). They patterned significantly more open (65%) than I expected (80%). I obviously need to pattern some other loads for comparison to see if it is the load or the gun, but in the meantime I would be curious to hear if anyone has had a similar experience with this load.

Thanks in advance, Doverham

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
