Got a buddy shooting a 870 12 ga with the federal tss #7's and tightwad choke. He's only getting around 150 pellets in a 10 at 40 yards. Any thoughts on the issue. I told him it could if the tightwad had was strippers the choke may be the problem.
I got good patterns out of a gun that I have with an original jellyhead. Not sure....some guns just don't like it as others.
I think that's going to be about average for that choke. Assuming it's a 2 oz. load, it's got 370 pellets so he's putting close to half in the ten. Fairly open choke with 7s isn't going to pattern like a .655 with 9s.

True. Biggest downfall with the #7s is your only looking at 185 pellets per oz. not going to get crazy high numbers with that.
I have an 870 Max Gobbler with Original JellyHead .665 and its always shot the Hevi 13 7's well. Haven't tried the TSS in it yet. Figured if I was gonna shoot 7's instead of 9's I would try the HW 7's 1st for the price. Then I ordered 9's lol
