Dave you may close this when you find it. If anything more of interest comes of this, I will add as an edit. Good Luck and Be Safe

I think the point is that if the shotgun user was using buckshot the results might have been different. Yes?

Usually buckshot patterns out of a given barrel at a given range run smaller than birdshot patterns do. Getting 'fringed' with birdshot might well mean a clean miss with buckshot at the same range.
One lesson to take away from this IMHO is that you CAN miss with a shotgun, especially at close range. lpl

Not closing this, and doubt I'll need to.
I wonder if the shotgun was a PGO?..... |

Shorthand for "pistol grip only buttstock" We seem to be at times obsessed with the subject.
Although Dave and a group of us are quite outspoken on the subject, I think he was just having a little fun with us because of the 2 active PGO threads currently running. Good Luck & Be Safe

Ah yes, that makes sense. The useless PGO shotgun.

I haven't researched the amount of # 6 pellets in a standard 20 ga. load, but I'll assume it is around 400. even if it was a 00 load, it was a horrible shot. not entirely shure he would have done better with the 22.

According to a shotgun pellet size chart I just looked at, it claims a count of 225 for one ounce of #6 shot.
Do 20 gauge rounds pack an ounce? (It's been too long since I bought any 20 gauge loads.) Regardless, 16 out of some 225 is pretty poor stats. |
