My Patterning Page
Below are my results shot from a Benelli SBE with 28" barrels using a Wad Wizard Supreme, Wad Wizard SWAT, Briley Extended Ported Light Modified, Briley Extended Improved Modified, and a .700 Terror Tube.
This page is a collection of patterning results from various people, guns, ammo, and chokes. Without the work of tripleb this page would not be possible since most of the pictures are his. The first two tables are from a 26" Nova, the third is from a 28" SBE and the fourth is the Nova again. His results include a lot of reloads, Kent Steel, Kent Impact, Estate Steel, Winchester Steel and more. The chokes are .665 and .675 Terror, a Wad Wizard Supreme, and a few factory chokes, Hastings, and Briley. His 10ga patterns.
I also want to thank dukfvr for letting me use his data as well. He is using a Benelli SBE with a 28" barrel and shot a Wad Wizard Swat, .700 Terror, and .655 Terror and factory Federal HHV and HeviShot.
I need to add woodsie picts as well. He is using a Benelli M1 with Kent FastSteel and HighSpeed Kent Impact with extended Briley chokes.
Thanks to ringbill for his data from a Winchester Super X2 and a Benelli with .700 Terror.

After I did the math on the patterns I wasn't
happy with the numbers so I cut open one of each shell and manually counted
them. Teach me to use a chart.
For the Xpert #6 it was 376 and the shot was pretty rough and
different sizes.
For the Xpert BB it was 87 and the shot was again rough
For the B&P #2 it was 162 and the shot was smooth and
uniform.
For the Kent #3 it was 166 and the shot was smooth and
uniform.
For the Estate BBB it was 81 the shot was smooth and uniform.
For the Estate #3 it was 190 the shot was smooth and uniform.
For the Estate #4 it was 222 the shot was smooth and uniform.
For the Remington #6 it was 347 and uniform. Kinda
surprised how uniform the pellets were considering this is Rem "cheap" load.
