Thanks, I have that Hevi 13 .662 in a 21”bbl Rem 870SM. It shoots incredible with the Hevi 13 3/2/7’s.
270’s in a 10 @ 40yds . For some reason it didn’t shoot too well out of the 26”bbl. May be totally different with the TSS as I have no experience with those shells. Only have 5 so hoping to start somewhere in the ballpark.

That's a tough one. I've not shot the Federal TSS but hear a lot of people say they like tight chokes. I doubt any of them will disappoint you but I'd be curious in what that ventilator could do.

I’ve got a 21” barreled express that will shoot the 3” Federal tss 9s in the 320s with a Carlson’s.640. I can run one through a ventilator and see what it does if anyone is interested.

Yea I’m tempted to send one through my Ventilator. Fire one down range if you get a chance.

Rem Extra Full .687 is the best choke for me and hunting patterns with Win LB 3.5 6's and Fed TSS 9's. Patterns were ridiculous with the TSS at 40yds and don't think I would want the patterns any tighter inside 30yds with the LB's or TSS.

Ordered a Rem Super full .665 but it never showed up. Will hunt the Midwest with this setup.
Win LB 3.5 6’s 220’s in a 10 @ 35.
Fed TSS didn’t count but it is serious.
