ralphrogers Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 im the proud owner still ,of a superblackeagle and can not get the gun to shoot a good pattern at 50 yds to save my life.oh ya,wanting to shoot 3 1\2 00 buckshot.i have tried every combinations of choke.the best pattern i can get is a perfect 4 ft circle with hrdly no shot any where nere the center.missed some nice bucks this past year because of this.if i go with any other choke the pattern gets even worse.i have also tried every type of shell made for buckshot 3 1\2.still with no results.the best pattern i can get was with 2 3\4 #1 buckshot.this is very disatisfying when i see other members in the club shoot a 870 at 50 yds and eat the target up.any help on this topic will be greatly appreciated.happy hunting.

lokewolf Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Are you using factory chokes or aftermarket chokes like say 'Patternmaster' ? I have a m1 12ga that I use a Patternmaster ported choke with geese, duck and deer and get phenomenal results on target. With OO buck shooting 3" Fed Premium's with 15pellet count.. I get all 45 pellets within a 30 inch circle at 50yds. Thats coming out of a 28 inch bird barrel. It's possible your flinching..try shooting at a shorter distance and see what the pattern is.. also try shooting a rifled slug thru it with a cyl, or imp cyl choke at a short distance then at 50 yds and see if you can hit where you want. Your might have a bent barrel, try locking the gun in a gun vise/bench rest and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
