I hit the patterning board yesterday after shooting a HP match.

I didn't get a chance to try as many chokes as I wanted but my own curiosity has been satisfied.

870 SM 23" (polished before last season, bore snake cleaned yesterday)
Rhino .660
Longbeard 3.5" #6
40yds, ~50 degrees

My quadrants aren't drawn correctly so the numbers would be more even. Sticker is 2", circle is 10".

.660 JH put up similar numbers.

Thanks, but I'm going to stick with the 6's.

I'll be trying some LB #6's out of the same gun, but with a .662 Hevi choke. I hope to see similar numbers :you_rock:

It really could be a toss up between the Rhino and JH.
