41 yards 50 degrees 11-87 special purpose 21"
all are 3" #6 long beard in 10" circle
Carlsons .640= 130
Carlsons .665= 164
factory x full= 138
factory super full .675=146
Ventilator=140
Jellyhead .665=158
tightwad .665=152
sorry for no pics but dont feel like uploading that many. shot the higher number chokes twice to see if they was consistant. I think .665 is where its at.
Was that .665 Carlson ported? I wonder how many you'll pick up when the temperature rides!

No its non ported. after all the guns ive played with im starting to believe the $28 carlsons shoot just as good as those high priced chokes. My buddys m3500 shoots the daylights out of a primos tightwad.
I believe it!! If I can get some free time I'm going to start work on this 26" barreled 870 and put those 2 chokes I got from you to the test. I broke down and bought a box of 3" LB #6s while I was in Greenwood today. Between that 870 and a 835 I'll find a use for them.
.665 seems to be a good starting point for most loads in a RemChoke barrel. Some loads do better through a tighter choke, but .665 is always a good place to start out.
The best range for most RemChokes seems to be about .655 to .670
However, it appears that SumToy makes a dandy .650 choke.
Those LongBeards sure are doing the deal. It almost doesn't matter which choke you use.
I also patterned the 3" Long Beard #6's thru a 21" Rem 11-87 and several chokes @ 60 degrees. My best laser ranged 40 yard 10" patterns were: 211 thru a Kick's .655; 187 thru a Jellyhead .660; and 185 thru a Kick's .650. I don't know how to post the photos but will be glad to text or email them if someone could post them for me??? Thanks. :OGturkeyhead:

i wish i could hit 200 with them in my 11-87. have you deep cleaned or anything? my forcing cone is lengthened
The gun is an "Old School" Rem 11-87 in the Brown Trebark camo. Also patterned the load thru the same chokes in an "Old School" Rem 11-87 in Original Bottomland camo with similar results. Both guns have a 21" barrel and have had no alterations other than deep cleaning and polishing the barrels. :OGturkeyhead:

That 211 in a 10 @ 40 is what I'm hoping to get close to with my rem 870 21" and kicks .655. My best to date is low 170's with 3" Pb. If I can beat that..longbeards will be the shell I shoot.
Anyone know if the dimensions are the same on the barrels of 870's and 11-87's?

Get yourself a Kick's .655 or a Jellyhead .660 and you'll be good to go. :OGturkeyhead:
