Has anyone ever tried the size 6 3" load in any guns as compared to size 7's. There is a shop near me that still has a good many of those in stock and I may be able to make a deal. I shot the size 7's for the past 3 years and they were amazing but no longer made.
I have , but only one box. Rem 21" Superfull rem choke done fine with dead turkey at 40 yard pattern.
Two birds died at around 30 yards, they were really slammed , no reason to jump and run to gobblers with those.
This is at 40yrds.with a super full.
Yes. I have several cases of them. I have one gun that will shoot them around 120. Another gun that shoots 6s 140 type patterns.
They like .570 chokes

That is a hammer of a pattern for the 6's! I have couple more chokes to try hoping to increase mine.
Sumtoy 570 in one gun ( 140/150) and pure gold 570 tempest in second gun (120s)
Those guys getting good patterns with them are shooting what kind of guns?

Some awesome patterns!
I tried to pattern some tonight in a new 870. Couldn't break a 100 at 40. Tried Tightwad, SSX & an old Hevi approved super full.

Ssx was my best choke for the Remington till I got the trulocks.

It's been the worst one for me. I put a micrometer on my chokes SSX has the largest exit diameter.
Great patterns, Del, I know what your shooting and I know for a fact it's deadly!! Joe Young, what kind and size choke were you shooting?
My Benelli M-1 with a sum toy 562 is shooting Federal HW #6's patterns in the low 130's
I have 4 boxes(#6 heavyweights)gonna send them thru a sumtoy.562
Looking to pick up a couple of other tubes also to test. I see the .570 patterns nice. Anyone Shoot them through Carlsons .575?
570 shoots 6s best in both of my weatherby set ups.
