This is at steel taped 40 yards. No guessing. Shooting all three set ups. Got a new choke for my finicky 870. This is about three weeks ago. 80 degree weather. All shot on cold barrels. Both weatherbys swabbed clean between shots. Remington just bore snaked.
First up youth model SA08, haymaker 560, old Federal 7s

The question is..... ? Does tss #7 beat that? I haven't seen it yet. Great patterns.. that first one you dumped in there nice.
Great looking patterns!
nice patterns, I would hunt any of them

Have no idea if #7 TSS can beat it. Sitting on a lifetime supply of heavyweights. I'll never have a need for TSS.
Terrific patterns for Federal HWT 7s. Very hard to beat that. If I had to pick one, and it was repeatable, I'd go with the Trulock TSS choke in the 870 for the best density and uniformity just outside the 10".

Doubtful. Denser pellets have a lot less pellets to start with. TSS 9s, OTOH, would beat the HW 7s by a wide margin. But I agree with the OP, sitting on a lifetime supply of HW 7s, there is no need to look any farther.
any one of those patterns will do all that needs to be done.....good luck

The 560 TSS choke is in that gun. I agree it's a pretty pattern.
Awesome patterns Del !!
Great patterns. I bet it's tight at 20 and in.

Yes sir it is. About golfball to baseball size.
Every turkey choke ive ever shot has been at 20 and under though.
Yep...you locked up for good on that one!!!! Federal hit the nail on the head with the 20....too bad the 12 ain't worth a crap!!!
My GA season....heading north

Oh contraire mon frère! Every 12 gauge I shoot the 3" and 3.5" heavyweight 7s out of has a Carlson's longbeard choke screwed in the business end and the patterns are RIDICULOUS. Once I run out of my 20 gauge hw loads (and then the 35 odd rounds of tss 9s) I might go back to the 12, but that's the only reason I don't carry them I to the woods. The 3.5" loads are putting up around 200 in the 10 and the 3" are printing 150+. Only through the Carlson's longbeard though. My 835 will never have another choke than the Truglo smackdown that's in it now and it'll shoot the same numbers as my 1300 and SBE II all day long.
Any chance , has anyone tried the Carlsons TSS chokes?
Remington.555 and .565
