Ive got a remi 870 supermag and I shoot 3-1/2 inch. The boy I bought it from put a truglow choke in it and it sucks plain and simple I thought bout getting the kicks but I'm still unsure help me please.
J.D. .....what brand shells you shootin? Ive got an 870 with a trueglow choke the put many a gobbler's to rest! now i know not all 870 trueglow combo's are gonna shoot the same...but i was happy with mine......still got it for others to borrow....i just decided to go to an automatic. my personal opinion is that the proper shell can make a big differance!
The one I just ordered. SSX http://allaboutshooting.com/product_info.php?cPath=69&products_id=74. Dont know about 3.5 but supposed to be deadly with 3" :z-guntootsmiley:
I used a tru glo last year that loved the winchester supreme # 5's but hated the same load in Remingtons version.
I shoot the winchester supreme #5s and it does ok i was just wanting to improve my pattern.
You might try the remigton nitro turkey loads in #5 if you are useing lead. I have a old winchester pump that loves them. I will guess those shells and gun have killed 10-12 birds. All one shot kills and a few misses[my fault] ;D
I used to shoot the remi nitros #5 in my mossberg 535. It loved them with the factory choke. It will drive you nuts trying to find the right combo lol
I have a Mossberg 535 with the SSX choke. I shoot Hevi shot 3 1/2" # 6s with great numbers.
I wanted to try the #7s this year, but deer season ran a little longer this year., so I never got to try them.

Thanks guys I think I'm gonna try the ssx
I have a truglo gsx 665 and a kicks 670 for my 870 and they pattern about the same with Winchester supreme #5 85 pellets 40yds in a paper plate . But a .005 difference
