Mike,

Thanks for posting the pictures. This is very important to me as I shoot fixed modified chokes at sporting clays, and use spreaders for presentations that are both very close and very fast, like stupid close rabbits, which poor target setters insist are "fun". My bet would be that the pattern in the middle is with the SpredR insert totally on top of the charge, and that the right pattern is with the insert having a small layer of shot on top of it. I use them both ways, too, but usually put a layer of shot on top to keep patchiness out of the center of the pattern. On second thought, does one of them have holes in the disc on top of the insert?
