So I got a P350 Stoeger a couple weeks ago (18 inch barrel, pistol grip). This is my HD shotgun (loaded with 00 buck).
I've taken it to the range a couple of times to see how it patterns and get used to firing it (put about 120 rounds through it, only one round didn't eject cleanly...may be a short stroke by me?).
Anyway, at 7 yards the 00 buck spreads to about 15 inches. That seems like a good spread for HD, but I'm surpised how wide the it spreads.
Think that is a good spread, too wide? Would the gun be more effective at a tighter spread? BTW - I cannot put chokes in the barrel.
