When I talked to Mike at IC he recommend.

Hevi 13 6s
Winchester Double Xs 5s
Mag Blends

He said some people have tried the Feds and have had great experinces.

Here is what I have tried
Winchester double Xs5
98 @ 40 in 10

Fed HW with the fcw 7s
107 @ 40 in 10

Fed Turkey Thugs 5s
71 @ 40 in 10

I am going to polish my barrel this weekend and try everything again and see what happens.I will be really happy if I can get the Winchester double Xs into 140-150 range.

Not to spoil your dreams but you will never get 140-150 with XX #5s in a 20 gauge unless you close your distance, regardless of choke.

Have you tried ? Might not go to 150 but I don't see why  I can't make it to 130-140

I have been playing with Win. #5's for quite awhile in a 20ga.
I can get 95-105 out to 38-40 yds,but to get 130-140 you are going to have to shorten your range drastically (20-30 yds)
