remi 870 12 gauge
26"barrel
.670 rhino
3.5" 2.25 oz
guys i patterened a buddy of mines gun today and got:
hevi 13 #6s 147 in 10" circle 40 yds
mag blends 159 in 10" circle 40 yds
he just got choke today and can still exchange it so what would you guys reccommend to get better #s
i am going to polish his barrel on sunday but i told him to get a different size choke what do yall think?
Take the choke back and get a JellyHead .660 My 870 26" barrel puts 220 in a 10" circle at 40 yards with Hevi 13 6-2.25-3.5. Its a tried and true killer as many people on here will agree with me. I'm going to try the #7s this year to see what my numbers look like.
Jelly head does very well in mine
have three 870s and they all do best with jelly head
Jellyhead is the ANSWER!! The .660 and .665 were made for Remington barrels. :turkey2:
JH .665 works for me better than the Rhino .660
i agree, jellyhead shoots great in the Rem., i have 2 870's with .660's and they both out shoot any thing else in my 870's. I would deep clean that barrel also. Or better yet polish it, thats what i'm doing this week to both mine.
JH 660 or 665 polish barrel good to go!
What do you guys think about Indian Creek .665 for the 870?
My 870 hates the Jellyhead .665. I'm shooting a Indian creek .665 get great lead numbers.

How does the IC .665 do with Hevi 6's, 7's.?? Im shooting 220's with a 21"bbl out of my Rem 870/ Kicks .655 and Hevi 3/2/7's. Thinking about IC .665 but i cant seem to pull the trigger..literally. Not sure if there will be a definate increase. Allot of money for a possible 20-30 pellets.
My Rem 870 21" barrel .660 rhino averages around 230-250 @ 40yds and that's with a 3" hevi #7.Hope this helps you out.
I am using a Hevi Shot choke in my 870 and I am using Hevi 3" 2oz #6's, and getting 181 @ 40 yards in a ten inch circle.
I got 160s with a 2oz magblend through a dirty barrel *4th or 5th shot through an already dirty barrel* and 140 with 1 5/8 oz 6s (after the shot with the mag blend). I would swap that choke out for a jh665, pg670, or a ic 665 from what I am hearing.
I get 250 in 10 @ 40 with a 870sm and .660 JH and 3.5 inch Hevi 6's. I do have my forcing cone lengthened though. 24" barrel.

No need I'm shooting the Indian creek tube. Haven't had a turkey complain yet.
I don't shoot shoot Hevi shot. Lead and Winchester Extended range.
Rhino will send him the .665 if he requests it. I'm quite certain he'll be more than impressed with his numbers after you polish the barrell and he gets the new choke. Also, have him stick with the Mag Blends with that combination.

I really like the Indian Creek .665 in RemChoke. It has outperformed everything else I've tried in my 3" 870 with 28" barrel.
3" 1.75 Oz. Hevi13 #6 = 155
3" 2 Oz. Magnum Blend = 190 at 60 Degrees
3" 2 Oz. Hevi 13 #7 = 294
3" 1.75 Oz. Win XRHD #6 = 194
3" Win Sup HV #5 Lead = 116
***And my Stainless Steel Indian Creek .665 in INV+ has flat smoked my RemChoke numbers.***
I get an average of 336 to 358 with my 870 sm 23in barrel @ 40 with 3.5 2.1/4 oz. #7s with a IC 665. But as stated before all guns are different..
In my 870, Jellyhead chokes didn't come close to matching a Briley Hevi-Shot choke that wasn't ported... to the tune of about 80 extra pellets at 40 yards. Have to get them from Briley's website.
I'm looking at picking up a new choke for my new (to me) 870 super mag. The only Jellyheads I've been able to find are the .665's.
I dont really feel like spending the money on something that I know the same amount of money I could have gotten something better.. Is this is the best option??

JH .665 works great for me.
