Title: 870 Express 16 gauge
Post by: Jstocks on March 23, 2022, 12:10:36 PM
Anyone shoot an 870 express 16 gauge with tss? If so, which turkey choke?
I have a Trulock .600 turkey choke and a 1 7/8 oz recipe to try. Just curious if anyone had already gone through setting one up and what worked best.

Any interest in getting rid of the 16ga?

I like the .605 and .615 CompNChokes. 28" barrel like the .615 23" barrel is good with the .605
This pattern with TSS 8.5s is almost too tight. With #9 or (#9 x #9.5 combo) its about perfect.

Shot mine today with a trulock .600 and it did 240/223.

I load 1 7/8oz of #9 and get great patterns out of my 870 16ga.  It is a deadly machine in the woods.  Call Comp-N-Choke and he will set you up!!!
