Title: 870 APEX#9
Post by: spencerhoosier on March 03, 2018, 05:06:01 PM
What's everyone's opinion on this pattern. It's an 870@ 30 yards. I'm using Apex #9's, and an Indian Creek .665. Too right? Just right?

If you're shooting 3.5 it may or may not be too much choke. I'm shooting a totally different gun but my gun was getting blown patterns with the .660 (315 in a 10" at 40yrds)  .665 (408 in a 10" at 40yards) The .670 gave a nice pattern, (446 in a 10" at 40yrds) but I'm thinking .675 will be the optimal choke constriction for my set up.  I'm shooting IC as well.

Thats a pretty Hot pattern. Definitely a dead Turkey but I believe I would try something in a .670.
