Rem 870 Compact. 21 inch dirty barrel. Carlson's .575 non-ported choke. Federal TSS #9 shot. Shot at 40, 30, and 20 yards.
:icon_thumright: this is a perfect hunting pattern , No need to look any further.
This is definitely what I'll be taking hunting this year. Very happy with it. I was surprised the Undertaker HD 582 was tighter than the Carlson 575. The 582 was just too tight at 20 yards for my comfort.
.582 all the way!!!!
After shooting the 575 I wasnt originally gonna even shoot the 582 due to the cost per shell. Then I thought what the heck. I started at 40 and liked how even it was. Then I shot the 30 and 20. Still a little leary with it being a bit hotter at 20 than the 575. Id say on average the majority of my shots have been around 25 yards. I was originally hoping the 582 would be a smidge less dense-like 180 to 200 in the 10 at 40. Oh well!
