    What shot size though? Or doesn’t it really matter, more just a difference in the spread within the spread and a difference in strength of impact?

      The particular combination of barrel and shot matters. Even different brands of similar shot, or different shotguns of the same make/model, can have differences.

      The chart above is just a general guideline, it’s often recommended to pattern your specific combination to know firsthand how it performs.

        I’ve got a pretty decent feel for what I use, but haven’t ever put it on a target, but I guess I was trying to point out that the chart is somewhat arbitrary without listing a common shot size
