That load should do quite a bit better. Here is one of mine at 35 yds with Federal #9 using a Jebs .570 in an 870 compact 21" barrel. Barrel was cleaned very well before patterning.....

I totally agree, and that is mislabeled. It is not an indian creek, it is a jebs. It is my daughters gun and she was getting 96 pellets at 40 yards with just plain ole $5 lead turkey loads.
Though I'm not one for chasing numbers, I think you could do a good bit better.
My 870 w/a Carlson 575 will average 240 in the 10 and 185 in the 20.

I saw similar out of mine with the same combo

I've shot those loads in 4 guns . From 21" to 26" barrels and even a 28" fixed full choke. Never under 200. most at 225 plus.
So when did you buy those?
Was was the temp out?
Did you clean your barrel and choke good?
And finally did you shoot more than one to see repeatable result?
Only shot it once. barrel was clean but not deep cleaned. Bought the loads this year. It was in the low 30's for temperatures.
That temperature will have a bigger effect than you think. Try that choke again when temps are closer to 50....

Cold
You may try the Sumtoy ? Denatured alcohol trick. Get all the solvents film and stuff out of the barrel.
Helped mine pick up some numbers with federals.
