Went to pattern my 870P today, with Remington's Reduced Recoil 8 Pellet 00 Buckshot. I have an 18.5" cylinder bore barrel. (I was disappointed with the size of the patterns, I have a few cases of Federal Tactical 00 with Flitecontrol coming in the mail, so this post will be updated next week after I test that)
10' range, about 3" around (the wad tore a larger hole than all the shot together):
25' range, where it made a 7" pattern:
50' range(max where I was shooting), with a 14" pattern:
Here's how I did with 1 oz Low Recoil slugs, at 50' (max at the range) shooting as fast as possible (Note that the perfectly round holes are from the slugs, the oddly shaped tears are from the wad ripping through the target at strange locations):
