Title: 20ga magnum blends...
Post by: sevetts on February 25, 2012, 10:24:22 PM
this isnt a good pic, but is a pretty good pattern. i orderd 2 boxes of blends from cabelas this week so i assume there this years. .575 cabelas hevishot choke. i didnt hear of anyone who really liked them, im not sayin they shoot like the straight 7s but you get some extra fps and some 5s and 6s, id recommend them to someone with almost the same choke

How far did you shoot that? The pattern looks pretty dense at the bottom of the second pic.

I shot a couple yesterday out of my pro hunter with the IC .555. I only got 80 in the 10 at measured 40. waiting on my TSS to arrive so I can load up some shells. Pattern wasn't good i'm sure do to the constriction of the choke. was just curious on what they would do. I will say my son's Charles Dailey put up 202 in 10 @ 30 yards with undertaker .572 with magblends. Nice pattern you shot.

I shot one of the Magblends through my 1187 today with a Truglo SSX .550 and got a 113 at 40 yds on a dirty barrel.

113 at 40 = dead turkey

My 21" barrel 870 with a SSX puts up between 80-90.

I picked up a .570 Tightwad choke for my 870 youth and tried a magblend through it at 35 yds I got 206 in a 12" circle     
I really liked that combo

I had good luck with the mag blends. Shot 155 in 10" @ 30 yards.870, 26" bbl, tightwad choke. I tried the Fed HW 6's but I've got the wrong choke for those. The pattern  just blew apart. It's my daughter's new setup and we are happy with those numbers.

I shot my 21" youth 870 yesterday with the Rem SF and got 119 @ 35yds with the magblends.


I am going to polish the barrel because it looks like a drunken gorilla used a wood rasp to cut the barrel.  By far the worst looking Remington barrel I have ever seen.


Thinking about picking up a Tightwad to try with it.

last season i got a sweet deal on a mossberg 500 (20 ga) so i go to basspro ,tell the rep i want a choke for shooting hevi13  ,so he picked me out the primos brnd with a ported end. there was only one box of 5 of the hevi 13 magnum blend so i got those and a box of 6,s. with the gon sighted in with the 6,s i loaded up a hevi 13 magnum blend for the turkey i heard gobblin on opener morn. as he approached my deke and did a little show,i opened up on his red head, all i saw was his feet flying up over his head by the momentum of theload hitting him,,no flopping ,,just dead.. got 4 magnums left, i'm sighted in and i,m goin after a gobbler or two this weekend.. love the hevi-13 mag blend.. lookin' for them in the 12 ga..would be baaaddddd
