Adjustable sights on the rib or even something like the Burris Speed Bead will solve the "sighting in" problem of POI/POA.  Shotguns... aren't they fun?  Amazing how much difference there can be between loads and chokes isn't there?  If you really want your eyes opened, take your best shooting combo at 40 yards and move the target back to 50 yards.  Now that extra ten yards of air can really wreck a pattern!



GC,

 Remember what I posted in the other thread about patterns seeming to follow no rules of consistency. I guess when all the round pellets leave the confines of the wadding, since they aren't stabilized it's just the same as shooting a round ball out of a barrel with no rifling. These shots patterns probably don't expand evenly as the farther they go, the individual pellets are probably spiraling and zig zaggin all over the place. I'm really interested in those shells you mentioned that have pellets that look like air gun pellets. Have you heard any more about them. How crazy would it be for a handloader to try to make some of these using air rifle pellets?
