That was the one thing I didn’t try that time was changing to the modified choke I am going to load a few more and report back

Well I tried the same powder wads and .310 buckshot I had poured

Ctps wad trimmed 1/4 inch off slit four time...
All had bpi original except the one 28 grain charge that wasn’t marked
Just got lucky I loaded some three inch in the ctps wad too but never got that good of a group they were stacked by threes so I am going to try them again stacked by twos see if it will tighten up
Here is a picture of the loads from full choke with all patterns marked
Slash was the 27
Circled 28
X was 29
The ones not marked was 28 with no buffer 300165
That was the spread it was the best group I had but I could also see the wad almost hit the target so the shot was just leaving the wad. I had some cut to the bottom of the cup but those were wider...
