Patterning the 58

[WALT53]

Well today I went to the range to try some loads a little less in the shot in my little slim (58) smoothy ,so opinions welcome.
I’m also trying to simplifie my loads so I don’t have to take the shop with me .enjoy .

@WALT53 could try the Sky Chief load using a wet fiber wad over the shot. Tighter patterns have been observed when using the wet wad as the over shot card. The heavy wad seems to pull ahead of the shot column and falls out of the pattern rather than getting blown through it.
