As far as I'm concerned, wing shooting is about 90% mental any way. If your pointing a shotgun where you should, stuff will die.

This ^^
My very best shots I've ever made were the ones where I didnt think -- bird flies in, surprises me, snap the gun up and shoot, bird is now dead.

(for example, I'm not going to pattern Hevi #4, because I'll never pay to hunt with it) I've done Fasteel, Xpert, Drylok, and some Federal, all in 2 3/4 and 3", #1,2, and 4, with my factory chokes (I know you're shocked that I'm not buying aftermarket choke tubes). The best by FAR for me was Xpert #2 from a factory Mod. And by "far", I mean hands down, almost 50% better. This was all years ago, so I don't remember the numbers, but I consider the fact that the cheapest shells worked best for me to be a sign. I could give a damn what the shot inside looks like.

definitely, but if you start shooting a load that puts more pellets evenly on target you'll notice you start making those shots a hell of a lot more often...

you ever watched that high speed video of an Abraham's grape shot round being fired? I'm thinking that's very similiar to what goes on with a shotgun load as far as shot string

Was that the slo-mo video where the cannon shot something crazy like 5 pounds of pellets out to something stupid like 500 yards? The farther down range it got the longer the shot string was.
