Title: SP 870 Magnum 26" Kicks Related Question
Post by: agturkey on March 05, 2011, 01:43:07 AM
Have two Kicks GT 650 and 665 I have used in my 870 SP Magnum 26"

I had outstanding results with Supreme 3" 2oz 6 Shot Lead

Now with the 650 and 665 I am looking at which NEW shell to use....Would like to stick with Xtended range so what would your rec and choke choice thoughts be with what I currently have to work with...

I know I need to pattern and test but with ammo getting high in the Xtended range market I thought I would see what others know and have learned....

Thanks

I have the same gun.  Mine loved the Kick's .655 and XRHD #6.  If you must stick with XRHD i would say try #5's in the .665 and #6's in the .650.  If I were you I would try some Hevi-13 # 6 or 7 in the .665 I think you will be happy.

Hevi 13's for me and my Kicks .660 and Nitro's are even mo betterer, my 870 never would shoot the x-tended range worth a poop.

i have the same gun and i use a jellyhead 660. it's the best patterning  choke i have for all my 870's. I't shoot both win. xtend range and H-13 #6" very good.
