870 with sumtoy .660

It's 32 degrees, laser ranged 40 yards. Winchester 3" HV lead #5's


Winchester 3" HV lead #6's


I sure wasn't expecting the 5's to outshoot the 6's. I'm gonna fiddle around with some different shells but I could live with the #5's.

I think you should try some Xtended Range 6's and some H13 3-2-6's!

Hevi-13 3-2-6, is a good option.
Also the Win. XRHD in the 3" shell.

Yup any of the HTL stuff will wake it up.  I also will say that my choke DO NOT like the Black HV loads. Now they do good with The black box red 3-2-6.   

Plus that 32 temp not work real good.  Barrels get damp fast in that temp.

I reckon im gonna try some if the xtended range 6's first, been as it is a little cheaper than the h13's. If that don't work I guess I'll give em a try. I'm not lookin for the tightest pattern out there but I would like to put around 125-140 in the 10. I'll order a box n see what happens.

You will be able to get those kinds of numbers with XRHD 6s, or H-13 6s or William will work with you until you can. Or you can expect over 200 with H13 7s. While it is possible, it's not that easy to even break 100 with 3" lead, especially at that temp.
