Title: 870 Youth 21” Choke/Loads
Post by: NightHawk24 on February 05, 2026, 09:03:55 AM
Hey guys. Working on getting my youth 870 with the 21" barrel setup for this upcoming season. Have seen a lot of patterns with it, however most of the ones I've seen have been with  the .555 IC.

I prefer a bit more even pattern so I'm looking for something that isn't extremely tight. Just wondering if you guys had any luck with particular chokes/loads? Thanks in advance.

mine does really well with about any choke shooting TSS #9's but with copper plated lead the only choke I'll use is the Carlson's LBXR .568  it has outperformed everything I've ever tried with non TSS loads.
