Just got back from patterning this JellyHead .660 With my 11-87 with a 21" brl and Hevi-shot 3" 2oz #7shot and here were the results.Temp was about 75* very little if any wind.5 shots at 40 yds averaged 211.5 bb's in a 10"circle.I also have a 26"brl that i put on and a 2 shot average was 215bb's in the 10"circle.I took 2 shots at 30 yds with the 21"brl and averaged 341bb's in the 10"circle.

Here are a few patterns that it through with the 21" brl.at 40 yds.H-S 3-2-7 Jh.660







The next 2 are at 30 yds with the 21"brl H-S 3-2-7 JH .660

Nice..thats right in line with what i am turning with my Rem 870 21 barrel Kicks .655

210-220 in a 10" @ 40.   Hevi 3/2/7's

I have the same gun and shoot the same choke, with the #7's I get around 240. Did you give the barrel a good cleaning???
Don't gobble at me...

I have a 11-87 with 21" cantilever barrel that has been polished. I use the IC .665 with Hevi 13 3-2-6 and I am getting avg. of four shot of 205 pellets in the 10" circle @ 40 yards. If you have not polished that barrel I would. It could give you a few more pellets in the 10" @ 40 yards. But that is some great patterns. I have not shot the Hevi 13 3-2-7 loads yet. I have been hunting in SC where the #7 loads are not legal to shoot. But I may pick me some up and give them a try. Thanks for sharing your results, Mike

I didnt know they were illegal.  Where does it say that in the rules?

Im also going to throw a few HS Mag blends down the tube today and see how that patterns compared to the #7s.With the JellyHead .660

7s are legal in SC to my knowledge.  Lots of fellows use them, especially 20 gaugers.

I have not read the reg's about it for this year. But SC use to have shot size limit for turkey. Bill Davis of Pure Gold use to talk about? I guess I should have checked the Sc regs this year. I could have used them #7 loads.

Thats impressive..if i could turn over 200 with Hevi 3/2/6's i dont think i would ever even consider shooting 7's.

Ok threw 2 shots down range today with the JellyHead .665 and the Hevi-Shot 3-2-7's and heres the patterns.


So between the 2 shots they averaged 213 bb's inside a 10"circle at 40 yds.The JellyHead .660 averaged 211 inside the 10"circle with a 5 shot average.So basically it was a draw between the JellyHead .660 and the JellyHead .665.

I shot 2 shots with the Hevi-shot Mag Blend 3-2-5,6,7's and they averaged 165 bb's inside the 10"circle at 40 yds.

In my testing now between the H-S Mag Blend and the HS #7's is that i get approximately 50 more hits inside the 10"circle at 40 yds with the 7's.

Hope this helps a few ppl out if there decideing what load or choke they want to shoot.If anyone is looking for a Jellyhead .665 for a Remington PM me and i'll give you a better deal than i got on this one.Theres been a total of about 20 shots run through it,id also consider a trade.

Thanks,
Kdog

Thanks for the info..not sure about Rem but that JH .660 will turn some awesome patterns out of a beretta with hevi 3/2/6's.   7's is definately what i turned the highest numbers @ 40 out of my xtrema and urika.  I believe you are ready to kill turkeys..nice gun! :smiley-char092:
