What choke tube/ammo recommendation would yall make for a Benelli M1 3" 20gauge with a 26" barrell ?  Also for a Remington 870 20 ga. 3" with a 26" barrell.  Thanks

For the 870, Federal Heavy Weights #7 with a Remington Super Full choke .570 from Midwest Guns for $9.99 has been doing great from what I've seen on here and my short range time with it.

870 Rem 26" barrel using Hevi-13 #7s most chokes in the 560-565 range are going to be very acceptable and 570 not that bad either. The newer H-13 in 5 /box #6s are getting good reviews in the 570 choke. I concern myself with what these patterns look like at 30-35 yards more so than 40 since I rarely shoot that far even with the 12 gauge.

If you use lead only then a 560s range and Win XX #6s or Federal FC #6s and then #5s would do well for the 30 yard and under range especially.

Good Luck

Go with the PG 570, the 555 will most likely put up a lil bit better numbers but boy is it tight inside 30

The SSX is unavailible for Benellis in 20ga. They are only made for the Rem choke threads. A friend has a Benelli Nova and has great patterns with the Carlsons 575 non-ported and Fed #7 HW.
