HORRIBLE weather today!  40 degrees, raining and windy, but I just had to get out and try the new choke and the Fed. Premium pre-fc pb loads I got from rogers.   Gun has only been boresnaked since the beginning of goose season too.  158 in the 10 and a whole bunch in the 20 and id say it was even, wouldn't you?  Cannot wait to shoot this in some warm, dry temps!

Looks great to me, i'll put a few thru my 24" gun with the same choke and post up the results this next weekend maybe.

One of the most evenly distributed patterns I've seen. That's a killer. Why oh why, can't Federal just drop those FC wads and start making shells like those again?

I think they are...to a point with the new Strut Shock stuff everyone is talking about from on Cabela's.  While it isn't truly a "new" load, it looks like they finally listened to all the sour grapes talk over the FC wad stuff and decided to get back to what always worked for years?  In the meantime, I will be buying up every box of this stuff I find.  Don't careabout the lot #s either, as I have never found a bad one in the older Federal lead.

TG .670 BC? Wat choke is that exactly?

It is the new Tru-Glo Bone Collector choke.  I could do without the stupid logo on the side ::), but I gotta admit it's a nice choke!  Good looking geometry, nice clean transition into the final constriction, and the ports are flared larger than the E.D. which should even work well with the FC Heavyweight 7s I picked up.

The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

I want to see the #7's when you pattern that one. I'm choke poor, but I was thinking about one of those chokes. Been reading good things.
