Nice work, nice cannon, mine is/was an exact match to your Remington. I have an idea where you will be hunting tomorrow!

I shoot the .695 Jelly Head and the old Rem Hevi Shot 1 7/8 oz of #6. Bought a bunch of these shells on clearance for $1 each. They haven't let me down yet.

I have not shot it a target to count pellets, not sure what number it will produce.

If I ever buy a 10 guage that isn't a BPS, it will be just like yours! Beautiful gun!

You are hunting with that choke/load combination and have not even patterned it???

I patterned it with the factory full choke that came with the gun and got about 230-250. Once I bought the jelly head I knew it would only get better. 4 shots and 4 turkeys later it seems to be doing fine. I know how far to shoot one and how far not to though.
