[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1437763, member: 99718"] I do see several holes in this pic, but not in the head and neck area, and with the 5's you have a little more shot and that could fill the holes. 5's are what I found gave me the best overall pattern. I use the Federal 3&1/2 inch 2oz - #5 shot with a trueglo tube in my 835 mossy and have killed a bird that I misjudged the distance on a few years back at 62 steps, I try not to shoot over 50 yards and usually wait till they are much closer, but sometimes they don't come quit as close as I would like. I also tried the same shell in the 2&1/4 oz but got holes as in your pic. Too much shot can deform the shot and cause holes in your pattern, this is why you have to try different brands and loads till you get the right combination. Good luck hunting and be safe. [/QUOTE]
