Better A:
Better B:
A: 3" 1 7/8oz #5, 40 yards 12ga turkey choke Winchester Super X copper plated lead
B: 3" 2oz #5, 40 yards 12ga turkey choke Federal Mag Shok copper plated lead.
Shot off a bench rest. I circled all the pellet holes with black marker, doesn't show up the best in the photos. "A"'s pattern was mostly within 35" with about 4 pellets outside. "B"'s pattern was mostly within 48" with several outside the 48", but "B" had more shot in what I would call the kill zone. It seems "B" has more pellets in the core than "A" but "A" has an over all tighter pattern.
Now, what I don't know, "B" has 1/8th oz more shot, does this mean it has more pellets or they have the same number of pellets with "B"'s pellets being heavier? I was going to count how many pellets were on the news print, but I was too distracted by the excruciating pain in my shoulder.
Which load should I use?
