Kind of interested myself.

I have a JH 665 for the mag blends/6s, but I kind of want to try the PG and Kicks

I shoot the GT .655 out of my Win 1300 with 6's or 7's in hevi and lead. Has performed well with both.

Kicks .660 in my 21" 870 for years and years.  I get 102 in the 10" at 42yds with 3/1.75/5 Win HV lead, and 150-160 in the 10" @ 42yds with the 3/2/6 H13's.   Over 200 with the Nitro H378 4x5x7 hevi also.

For hunting..which is the reason i do this..the Kicks .655 patterns 6's and 7's fantastic out of my 21" bbl Rem 870 @ 40yds..Its not gonna win any pellet counting contests nor am i going through the trouble to handload..but its a great combo.. compact gun, light and easy to manuever. I shoot turkeys inside 40yds no matter what i shoot and limit out every year..i havent found any reason to take 50+yd shots. Ive yet to achieve satisfactory patterns with 5's compared to my 6, 7 patterns..but im trying a 28" bbl ..soon as the nasty weather breaks around here. :fud:

I have a kicks.655 that shoots win.3.5"#6 hv 125-130 in a 10". 3" win hv #6 100+- in a 10". and the old Fed 3.5" good but dont have any 10" numbers. I get better patterns from the H-13 with a jellyhead .660 . I think a .660 or .665 kicks would would shoot the H-13 very good.
