I'd go back and buy a few more boxes since they shot that good.  No use in posting a sob story if you miss one, as none of us will believe it was the gun!! Nice pattern..

Awesome pattern average with a lead shell.

The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

I was not planning on patterning my guns again but I think I am going to have to try this load out before Federal decides to add the FCW to it!  ;D

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

yes sir I run a .665 in my stoeger and a .655 in my Benelli m2. They both produce good even patterns. I recently switched to a Indian Creek .665 in my Benelli. It shoots between 140-150 with the thug 6, and around 125-135 with thug 5s. Much denser pattern with the IC choke good and even. Hope this helps. Your .665 should shoot fine. Run some shells through it and good luck to everyone this season.

Thanks for the info!I have been contemplating an I.C choke but i wasn't sure if .665 would be enough constriction for a benelli barrel and lead shot.Might have to try one now!thanks again...ward

I'd say grab that IC anyways, never hurts to have too many chokes laying around!
