I'm shooting my rem. 870 with 3.5" Nitros Straight 7's...This is my load and I love it...I believe last year i had 387 pellets in my 10" circle at 40 yds.....wvu08 i think it's obvious you found what shells to use I bet the 7's would shoot a little better but the blend will def. put that bird down without problems as long as you hit him...are you going to sight the gun in a little more or do you like a low pattern like that?
Gonna bring it up just a touch...i like my POA/POI to be the same...don't wanna have to remember to hold high, low, left, right etc. in the heat of the moment ya know. I'm just waiting for the weather to break again so I can get out to the range and make sure its where I want it.
