Title: Federal HW #7 and Longbeard XTR #6 Remington 870 Youth
Post by: old frank on March 15, 2021, 02:20:49 PM
Season starts next weekend and my single 20 is still at the gunsmiths so I figured I better check my shotgun and Red Dot.
Overcast and windy at the outdoor range. Using a pistol pit 37 measured yards was the longest I could shoot.
Both Longbeard and Fed HW did about the same. I did bring the pattern up a little after I took the pictures.
Not too bad for lead and I think I can kill a turkey. I like to call them close anyway!

That will git r done. I bet that's a .575 choke rather than a .375 if it's a 20 gauge...

Exactly, Thanks! Yes 575, there was a disconnect between eyes,brain and pen!
That is what I get for trying to use 74 year old eyes and brain!

I would aim a little higher on the head to eliminated pellets in the body of the bird.
