Saylerman, I did as you suggested and patterned the gun. Results were about identical with yours. Good patterns out to about 30 yds with 8's. Needs all those pellets to make a good pattern though. With 00 buck, at 30 yds there were only 2 pellets in a 24: circle.
My belief is, if a 'smith puts a screw-in choke in that 18" barrel I could probably get good patterns with larger shot at longer distances.
