Did some more bottom barrel testing today with the new Trulock .591 choke with some lead loads, a pheasant load, and a tss load

What y’all think? I’ll keep trying different lead loads, but the TSS load looks great at 22yds. I’m not sure what I like better with the tss at 22 yds.

I know it is ten dollars a pop plus, but I would love to see what that .591 TSS pattern looks like at forty yards. It just might surprise you. Both the .580 and the .591 with TSS look pretty good at 25.

Nice patterns
Heres same gun with Sumtoy 562 hal xxl #9 @ 40 and 585 shooting golden pheasant lead 6s on left @ 20
I haven’t tried TSS out of 585

Pm me your address and I’ll send you a few. Not sure if I gave 6s or 7s left?

Shot you a PM
I tried a couple Remington Shurshot heavy dove loads today and the 7.5 patterned well
1oz, 2 3/4”, #6s and #7.5.
I shot them off hand at 25 yards
Just not sure if it’s safe to shoot a dove load at 30 yards and less. The 6s weren’t too bad either.

I sent you a few gp 6s to try
Probably only difference in gp and dove loads are the gp are nickel plated

Looks good.
I’m doing a hand load recipe for a copy of the gf 1 1/4 load of np 6s
Sent it off for pressure testing
If you are interested I’ll give you info after ballistic testing and I’ll pattern

So I got my load data back today
20 ga 3”
1 1/4oz nickel lead 6
Using TC20 wads (closest I could find to golden pheasant wads)
Mean velocity 1190
Mean pressure 10700
If you want recipe send me a PM
I’m going to try to load some and pattern this weekend but I expect to be pretty close to the golden pheasant

Has anyone tried the 1-3/8 oz lead load posted on Ballistic Reloading Supply?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220812/e344b40a7f0623c5a246e9c41185bf39.jpg)

So
I finally got around to testing my golden pheasant copy hand load. Here is 20 yard comparison out of Sumtoy 585
Golden pheasant on left hand load on right. My hand load seems to spread a little bit more

Hand load gp copy
10, 20 and 30 yards out of 585. Pattern seems to be good to about 25. Anything past that I’d shoot TSS out of my other barrel

Nice job, your pattern is more even than the GP, not as clumpy. Should do great out to 25
-
Jordan were your patterns shot with the 24" barreled gun or the 20" barreled gun? Those remington nitros look to be patterning pretty nice. For some reason I've never patterned 20ga or 12ga rem nitros.
-
It has the 20” barrel!
-
I know that some have got good patterns from the Remington Nitro but I never have. And I have tried them in a bunch of guns and chokes. The patterns were horrible, so bad that I wouldn't shoot them at a dove.

I've heard more bad reports with the rem nitros than good but in some guns they seem to shoot well. Atleast out to 30-35 yards from what I've seen and been told. I'll keep them in mind when I'm out and about.
