does anyone shoot mag blends out of a kicks .680 or a ssx .675
or .670 in an 835 or 935
i ran up on a heck of a deal on magblends the other day and got two boxes. just wondering what i should expect out these choke and loads? which one should i try first?
because im sure i wont be able to get a deal like that on mag blends again
The TruGlo SSX is .670. I had one for my 835. I never shot anything but Hevi-13 2 and 1/4oz #7's through it. It shot very well.
Mossberg 835 with Star Dot .676 using 3" Mag Blends 2 oz load. Temp was around 75 and very little breeze. Only shot I got to make because a storm came up as I was counting the hits. Going to pattern them some more soon, and if they are anything like this then they are what I am sticking with.
In my 835 with a Carlsons .690 I shoot mag blends with no problems, three shots three dead birds and as a bonus I can shoot the dead coyote with the same choke (check with your choke maker first). I do ot keep patterns or counts but the 40 yard pattern is nice and tight for me. You will be happy in the field.

I shot them a good bit when they were first introduced and as I recall, the patterns were very good through the SSX and my 935. I probably recorded some of those numbers. I'll look and see what I can find.
I do recall that the recoil was pretty stiff! I prefer the standard loads for that reason. They allow me to get back on target more quickly.

thanks for the info. guys im gonna try them out of both chokes and see what the results are. im not too concerned about numbers as long as i get a good even killing pattern
im a little woorried with poa/poi changing on me with different loads and chokes
