Title: New 20
Post by: lmbunch69 on August 04, 2020, 09:16:05 PM
Just brought home a new 870 in 20 gauge. 26 inch barrel. Bought it as a dove/small game gun primarily but going to have to try a few turkey loads out of it. Any good chokes for tss 7s or lead 6s? I live in Indiana so 7.5 is the smallest shot I can shoot.

I would try something in the 562 range in it.

I would go Carlson 575 or Trulock 585

I get great patterns with a RSF and IC 562 out of my 20ga with #7.5s.

Start with a Remington Super Full.  I've tried them all and this is one of those cases where the least expensive options can also be one of the best performers.

I've got 2 870's that I use for turkey and both of them love this choke. Also had good luck with the Primos Tightwad.

Lots of good options out there for ammo but I started patterning the Longbeard XR's (I bought the 6's) and they've looked really good on paper.
