Too much choke for magblends. See all the holes in the pattern? Try lead 6s or HS 7s if you want to shoot HTL. Both are more forgiving of super, super tight chokes, which the SSX is.

Yeah. I was kinda thinking it was to tight. What size would you recommend?

I tried a .660 this evening. This looks better but still maybe a little tight. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170406/aa3aa49fedf22a56cc78e14a03598ac3.jpg)

Looks good. I'd try a .665 if you have one, but I wouldn't go out and buy one. I'd hunt that.

I do have a .665 but it is a lead only. I might get a sumtoy for next season but I'm going to hunt this choke this season.

Lead only means no steel shot, hevi shot is fine from them.

My kicks is lead only and it's got over 100 rounds of hevi through it.

Remington HS
Old White HS
Winchester Xtended Range
H13

Looks like it did the day I bought it

That 660 is looking pretty sweet. I'd hunt with it. If I had that 665 I'd have to try it just to see though.

Little too tight for mag blends they like something a little more open for sure
