Eley Subsonic 18g No6 in 410

[Stonepark]

As a follow up, I have just repeated my previous experiment with the above through my Khan K226 at 35yards and Briley extended chokes.

 

Eley subs are 12.5gr SP3 and diana wads v's xtralong which are 15gr sp3 and felt wads.

 

Table again shows, choke, 20 inch circle, outer 10 ring, 30 inch (in bold), outside 30 inch ring and total hits on board

 

With my gun, Light Mod, certainly seems to be the sweet spot for choking.

Thanks for sharing. Some nice patterns again. My preference for shooting .410 would still be 7.5 or 8 shot.

Yh I'm with motty 7.5 in .410 19g by fiocchi and eley has worked so well for me on rabbits

[Stonepark]

Prefer 7 or smaller as well but had these left over from a previous gun purchase.

Yes I've done a lot of testing and now stick to small shot sizes if I can.

The Fiocchi's are great and hard hitting but very loud.

The Eley Subsonics are also loud so I don't bother with them.

If I want quiet it either use Eley Fourlong or Express Magnasonic 17g which are only available in 5 shot. Both very quiet.
