20ga 870 setup
« on: April 02, 2017, 05:02:02 PM »
I just purchased a 870 20ga with a 21" barrel to use this year. I ordered a hevi-13 choke and I'm planning on hevi-shot mag blends. Does anyone else use this setup and if not what is a good setup that you could recommend?

Would like to see some patterns from your combo.
