I couldn't justify the price on them. I have been a huge fan of the IC chokes though.

Jebs are quality chokes. However, in my opinion there a chokes that perform just as good that don't cost as much. Others may disagree.

No you are correct. I use a Remington ventilator choke in my 870 with turkey thug size 5's and they out performed a lot of the custom chokes and name brand ammo that I tried. It's absolutely deadly.

No jeb's choke here either, heard a lot of good things about them though.  I currently use a tru glo SSX in my Remington 870, but recently bought an indian creek ckoke for it that I am waiting for some good weather to try out.

Ithaca 12
Briley Factory .675 Choke
Hevi13 #6s 3inch
60 Degrees
Heavy 10-15mph wind

30 Yards:

I usually shoot the Hevi13 7s and get much higher numbers at 40 yards (215/220 vs 150/160 here with the 6s). I'm switching to the 6s because I want the heavy load and I'm very pleased with the evenness of the pattern. I'm not a number chaser and I like the forgiveness.

20 Gauge 870 Youth Express

First time shooting this 20ga with this choke. Awesome pattern that fell off numbers wise at 40 (only 105/110 in 10"). However, the evenness this choke throws is great.

Both of those patterns look great! 65 and chance of rain Monday, but I'll be at the range. Got a scope for my 17 yesterday so I've gotta sight that in as well.

Awesom pics and results there Gumby.  Thanks for sharing.

Im jealous of all you warm weather guys.  Im in Michigan and were still hovering around 30 degrees during the day.  I wanna get out and shoot so bad. 

Last year was my first time really getting into patterning like the guys on here.  I did a deep clean on my 835 as "allaboutshooting" recommends.  Then patterned my Nitro H517 load, which is a 2 7/16 oz load of 4x5x7 Hevi Shot out of a Jellyhead .690     I was only able to do a couple shots because Im running low on that particular load.  I was able to get 283 in a 10 @ 40 yards, which I think was pretty good considering it had 4's and 5's in it.

My project this year is to get a TruGlo SSX .670 and pattern Hevi 7's through it (2.25oz). 

HEY, how bout you guys share some of that nice warm patterning weather with us Michigan folks!  haha

Be sure to post pics.

I went out today. Drove 45 minutes to the range, get there and the gate is closed. Not open on Mondays. I'm going back out in the morning. Today was perfect too, 68 degrees, no wind and overcast. Tomorrow should be good, but a little cooler.

I'm jealous too.  Today was 35 degrees and that is pretty warm for this time of year around here.  I cant wait to get out and pattern but that probably wont be till mid to late march for me.

Mossberg 835 and Indian creek. Longbeard 3" 6's. Due to some generosity I'm going to try some Hevi 7's. Good people.

That's great! I'm gonna make it out in the next few weeks to fine tuneand choose between 5's and 6's. I'd like to pick up some hevi 7's to try, but I can't talk myself into 5 dollars per shell

I'm with ya there man.  In Michigan, we have a 1-bird limit so roughly $85 for ten shells means around $8.50 a year to have the best she'll I've shot.  Pretty cheap in my mind.

Bought me a new addition to my 835.

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160306/df2819c2c83149e67875ec775a9513ae.jpg)

Now need to get some Hevi 7's.   Trying to decide whether to spend the extra on Nitro's or just go with Hevi 13.  Love my Nitro's I know that.  Wallet doesn't though.

Definitely will do that.  Temps are finally gonna start picking up here in Michigan starting tomorrow.  Still gonna be a tad chilly for good patterning, but it's a step in the right direction.
