That one inch per yard thing is not accurate at all. It depends on a lot of factors. What kind of shot you're using and how you are choked. I have shot pattern boards before and I can tell you that was a long distance shot. When I shot the piece of fire wood the other day from about 10 yards or so all of the pellets hit within about an inch of each other and I have no choke at all. Cylinder bore.
