Carlsons .675 and Indian Creek .675, any difference?
« on: May 19, 2018, 11:12:55 PM »
I've got a Carlsons .675 tube on my 835 now and I'm happy with how it shoots, just curious if there would be much difference in performance with the Indian Creek tube. I can't imagine there would be much difference just wondering if anybody had compared them. I'm currently shooting Winchester Double X 3.5 inch #5 shot but want to try some Hevi 13 3.5 #7 shot to hopefully get even better patterns.

Try a pure gold .670 with those 3.5 7’s you won’t be disappointed.

They will definitely perform differently. Every choke performs differently even with the same restrictions. IC more so then others due to the wad catchers.

Yeah the pure gold is on my wish list for sure, it seems to be highly recommended from what I've read.

Pure gold is my favorite for my 835. With that said. My friend just bought a carlsons longbeard choke. I believe 683 restriction. I told him he was crazy. Well we put it up against my PG with longbeard 5's and the longbeard choke was substantially better. The theory is that longbeard shot is encased in a resin for long range performance. The tight restriction breaks the resin apart sooner therefore not getting the results that can be had. I would not have believed it if I was not the one shooting . Something to think about.

I'm hoping I can find a choke/load combination I'm happy with it and just hunt with it, but I enjoy shooting and trying different combinations so the odds are against that. It's fun and maddening at the same time! I've already got a pretty good combo and here I am looking for advice on more combinations. It's a sickness!

Glad to know I am not the only one that has the sickness!
