Some awesome patterns!
I tried to pattern some tonight in a new 870. Couldn't break a 100 at 40. Tried Tightwad, SSX & an old Hevi approved super full.

Ssx was my best choke for the Remington till I got the trulocks.

It's been the worst one for me. I put a micrometer on my chokes SSX has the largest exit diameter.

Yes Bink.  It was the federal heavyweight 6, 1.5 ounce load.  Remmy 870 compact and a Carlson's .570 non-ported.
