Yeah buddy! I'm super happy with it.
I wouldn't change a thing about that.

Glad to see this, I have that choke and plan to run the Rogue 1&5/8oz thru. If I get results similar I'll hunt that.

I'd assume it would be pretty dang close!
Me too, same gun and choke different shell. I hunted a carlsons. 575 and federal 1.5oz last season. It was a very good pattern maybe a bit too good for my nerves with a tom gobbling in my face at 20-25yds. I'll post it up when I run it.

I ran the exact same set up last year with almost identical results. You will love it and kill whatever you shoot at.
nothing wrong with that

Franchi Affinity 3 /.585 Trulock / Rogue 1&5/8ths #9's / 40 yds. = 240 in 10" & 160 in 20" or 400 in 20". I Iiked it.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220314/eaa03e2327d900de2f21933baf57f29a.jpg)

Looks like you guys have hit on a good combination of gun, choke and shells........now let's see the pictures of those toms when you shoot them. Good luck. :fud: :OGani:
Are these with the ported or non ported.585s?? Love these patterns
The pattern I posted above is with an unported tube.

Thanks man! Just bought one as well...perfect pattern for me as I want it not to be like a rifle up close but be a good hunting pattern at 40-50

This was my purpose as well, you're still gonna need to bear down and aim tight at 20 but I wanted more wiggle room for ragged nerves in that 30-40 yard range where I typically take shots.

All right Jordan, this is your official warning...my wife hates you, you cost me lots of money...JK...just ordered F A 3 Elite, .585 choke and a green dot. Will hopefully get some rounds thru it this weekend, if everything shows up.

Haha hey man, I didn't do anything!!
Jordan did you even try shooting with chokes that come with gun? If you did was there much difference with POI / POA with different chokes. I will not have a lot of shells to waste sighting gun in twice, hoping they are close.
