Question for Experienced IFG Members/Shooters

[James_Bond]

Many of them says that he hit the target with 12 gage Indian Dbbl SXS within the range of 25 to 50 meters( target circle are 12 inches)With OFB 65 MM Special cartige. Most of the pattles ( Almost , all)are hit the target. Whats true.

Mr Bond you will have to be more specific,what is the No of shot you used,number of pellet hit on a 12" target would vary as you increase the shot size & for a Shotgun the difference of range from 25-50 meters is the difference between a sure hit and a maybe.Hope this helps.PS there is a chart,do a Google search on patterns of shotguns in difference shot size,it is very helpful.

An India IOF KF Special cartridge will hit just about 10 pellets in a 40 inch circle at 40 yards if the shooter was loaded with the common No. 1 shot which has a terrible pattern. A coke can may easily walk out of such a pattern with no 1 shot.

If it was No. 6 shot a rarity these days though some are available in Delhi these days at 40 yards about 180 pellets would be in the 40 inch circle
