Patterning Semi-Auto Shotguns for Waterfowl Hunting

As I expected, the Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus did a magnificent job at putting pellets in the bird (19:48). My takeaway isn’t so much that one shotgun does better than another, but that you need to know what you’re doing and get your testing protocol and equipment settled out when you presume to test one against another. Having to admit you screwed up a test should be just a bit embarrassing, but at least it’s honest.
I’ll also say that after a morning of shooting quail with the A400, I felt like I had plinked with a .22 rimfire rifle all morning. The action and stock design manages the recoil better than any 12 gauge shotgun I’ve ever used.
