you are playing games with words now frenchy. you won't say the pattern isn't larger from the shorter bbl (because you KNOW it must be, however minutely so) so you simply say i won't 'see' it. you also conveniently presume the use of deforming lead (or similar) shot and not steel which, in the good ol' US of A is mandatory for migratory birds.
indeed i've spent time drawing 30" circles and counting pellet holes (from my own loads with carefully weighed charges) and very often the answer wasn't apparent with just a glance at the pattern.
it's not that i think you are WRONG frenchy...in any of this really....but that you are playing games with it. is this a common tactic for you?
you make statements that would only REALLY apply to a very small % of shooters. yet you don't qualify your statements.
