Everyone took a chance with my Merkel 470 NE and no broken shoulders!
The ammo we used were those that Art and Art Sr helped me to reload a few months ago. Art Sr’s recipe worked very well I think. Pictured below I landed two about 2 1/2 inches apart.
Middle of the picture middle black dot. The two big holes just above the black dot left barrel at 11 o’clock right barrel at 2 o’clock!
