Title: 835+Jelly Head .690 ?????
Post by: Tom Foolery on March 30, 2011, 07:34:34 PM
Guys I just got a good deal on a Jelly Head .690 for my 835 and I was curious if anyone had shot any lead from this combo and what worked well for you?  I have a great setup for my StarDot .676 and lead HV 2oz #6's, but you know how it is with chokes, gotta buy them.  :)


Thanks

I like to buy chokes, you have a problem.  LOL :goofball:


I do like looking at all your tests though, informative stuff.

I shoot Winchester HV #5's 3 1/2" 2oz out of my jellyhead when its in the 835. I have killed alot of birds with that choke load combo.

Thanks SR1, that is the exact combo I was thinking it would like. 


You have any pattern numbers or you just go kill birds with it?

I tried that choke out of my 835 with 3" number 5's 1 3/4 ounce and they didn't pattern any better than the factory choke that came with it.  Wasn't a bad pattern just not any better that with the factory choke.

for what it is worth i had been using the original mad max choke and it seems very similar to the jelly head. I was getting good results with the federal 3.5 in 2.25oz #5 fcw

#5's seem to be the way to fly.  I'm hoping that the #5 HV's and the H13 #6's will both be lights out form the JH.
