As you know the short barrels like the 21" on the 870s can be a challenge but the #7 shot shells throw so many pellets they can help a lot. The best choke I can find for that combo is the SSX due to its design. I've shot mostly #6 shot through that barrel but from memory, the #7s I've shot have produced very dense patterns that would certainly do the job. I'd have to look back to get you a count however.
Thanks,
Clark

Just ordered one from you, Clark. Please ship ASAP. Thanks.
I shoot a Jelly head .660" on my 21" barrel on my 870. I shoot Hevi-13's with 3 X 2 X 7's. I get 248 at 40 yards in a 10" circle. I love this shotgun. :happy0064:
I have the same exact gun. I tested the JH .665, Pg.670, and H13 .664. Out of those, the JH gave me slightly better results. I was around the 200 mark in the 10". Not mind blowing patterns, but they were very even and I had room for error. I Killed a couple of KS birds that were around 45 yards with no problem.
If I had to do it again, I'd like to try the .660
Rhino .660 with Hevi 3-2-7 will put 230-250 @40yds.
i have the jh 665 and with hevi 13 3-2-7's i got 242 @ 40 and the 3-2-6's were in the 220's....i've been trying to find a 28" or 30" to trade my 21" barrel for...i'm not a fan for a short barrel at all

You shooting this combo thru a 21" barrel??
3" 870, 28" Barrel, Indian Creek .665 BDS
3" Hevi13 #7
294 in 10" at 40 Yards
have the same gun and my chokes are sumtoy(.662) good jellyhead (.665) better and sumtoy (0.658) best
Sumtoy shoots a good even 10 and 20 nice and consistant, I actually get better numbers out of the jellyhead but its not as even a pattern.
