Re: Stevens 301 pattern pics
So 2nd picture is factory, and last one is the Indian creek choke?
Like that one better?
Picked up one last week…not 100% sold on it yet but getting there. So far shooting factory, with mostly 7.5 leads letting my little girl get familiar.
I put one XX #5 through it today and wasn’t completely impressed…

Re: Stevens 301 pattern pics
I didn't know they offered the double X in #5s , I have seen it in 7.5. I can't imagine you could get very much of a pattern with 3/4oz of number 5s though that is also a fairly large pellet for a .410 bore. You are likely to see some bridging pellet deformation that will cause blown patterns. I would look into heavier than lead loads for the .410. you and your daughter will be happier.mdycrk wrote: ↑April 10th, 2023, 10:36 pm So 2nd picture is factory, and last one is the Indian creek choke?

20g 3” XX 5’s. It’s ok but it’s not special.

Re: Stevens 301 pattern pics
What oz payload are you shooting? Thats wicked! Just machined my own .390 choke for mine, and it does not like the 1oz load i put thorugh nor the 7/8 ive tried. Also didnt shoot the IC 385 good with either also..
