Title: 870 21" IC 665 Fed TSS 9 3"
Post by: bwhana on March 31, 2018, 05:33:19 PM
Avg of 250 in 10" at 40 yds.  For comparison, I get an avg of 157 at 40 with LBXR #5 3" in same setup. Tried both loads at 60yds and the both gave identical 57 avg in 10".   Neither seem as good as what others show here and I expected better.   The barrel has been polished and deep cleaned and have a 2x8×32 Nikon Monarch scope shooting from lead sled.  Tried a 660 choke from my friend and it was even worse. Is this good for what I have or do I need even less constriction?  Seems like the new flex flight control still doesn't play well in mine gun.  2x the pellets in the shell but the % in 10" is better for the cheap ammo.  Any suggestions?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180331/ae2d4c6340d19862dbb778fc14fe5364.jpg)

Counted out to the 20" ring and got 577 total.  There are some gaps in that space, but that shell has about 630 pellets so that is not a bad % at 40 yds I guess
