Federal #7 Heavyweight

[briton]

Here is the pattern pic. Rem 870 SPS/3.5 HW 7/ Rem Turkey/Predator .670 non-ported/ 153 hits 10" @ 40 yds
I know the pattern could be tighter with a different choke but I like the range versatility this one gives me. Its got a few gaps but I think it will be more than enough to do the job.

I will tell ya this , out of a 26" 870 supermag i got 103 in the 10" and 163 in the 20"
With a Rob Roberts .660 recommended for a 3" HW 7 load.
Right after that i shot  2 3/4" HW 7 out of a Remington factory full rated for lead or steel in the same gun and beat it by a small amount.
Many other chokes in same gun with the 3" left the RR  in the dust.
In one of my guns anyhow.

This was from 2 years ago oddly enough I was getting decent results with a patternmaster black cloud full tube. This was at 35 yds. Like a true crack addict I wanted more.

Brother ifn you shifted the 10" circle slightly up & left that would add to an already VERY IMPRESSIVE pattern!!!!
