Well, A combo of 2.5oz Nitro 6x7 h210b's and or 2-3/8oz Magblends  with either a Pure Gold .690,  Rhino .685, .720 or IC .690 Just depends on which shoots better, ejects clean etc. I havent patterned this gun at all. My bps likes all the above, unknowing on the IC .690 because I havent run anything through it yet

Thanks I may try to pick up a used one too next year just to have as an addition in case they get retired as seems to be the message of the 10 ga makers. I have the BPS already. One of my buddies in my huntin circle has a gold nwtf 24" similar to this one in new breakup. That  thing patterns wicked ..It was the main reason I had to get one..He bought his when I got my BPS a few years ago. The barrels are polished as well with JB's, steel wool and Kroil. The insides looks like a mirror. It makes a difference on the pattern board.

Got my gun back after a 1 day turnaround from my gunsmith buddy. All I can say is WOW! Autos have heavier factory triggers usually due to safety of preventing accidental followups Im told. I get trigger work on my shotguns right out the box. The worse part was the travel. This trigger on this 10 was right above 10 lbs! Now its a hair under 4. Its like a whole new trigger assembly. Great pull with far less travel. Thats step one of it's road to turkey rig status. All is cost me was a call.
