Title: 870 apex/IC 675
Post by: Txag12 on March 17, 2018, 02:46:51 PM
Just wanted to give some results for guys considering opening up their constrictions some on TSS. Rad a Indian creek 675 with 2.25 oz # 9 apex tss an scored 423 in 10, 273 in the 20, for a 696 total pattern at 40 yards. I was pretty impressed with 85% of the payload in a 20" at 40. Curious to hear what other chokes guys have tried and what their results are

Exact same setup as you.  My barrel length is 21" not sure yours?

I shot the Federal tss 9s, 2.25 oz.
Got 330 in 10 in and 314 in 20.  Total 644 or 80%. 

Just polished my barrel.  Interested to see what that does, and warmer weather.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180317/7d4976be3e3d38eae12abedbac225583.jpg)

Looks very similar to mine, my core 10 was a hair tighter which is probably more to do with mine having a slightly longer barrel at 23"

2.5oz of #9s. .675 Indian Creek. 500/300 patterns. A .665 Indian Creek was 550/260. Sooner or later I'll try a .680/.685.
