3" BPS and 3" 870 using Indian Creek .665 chokes.

180 to 210 at 40 Yards with Temps in the Low 60's.

shot them out of my M2000 stoeger last year a few times. Was shooting them from an IC 665 and was getting about 180 at 40yds.

i have some more on the way to try in my sumtoy 650 and Hevi Shot choke. I have shot the 3.5 magblends out of those already and it was very pleasing.

I use them out of a Win SX2 26" bbl with an Indian Cr 665 and have patterned a BPS Upland Sp with 22" bbl.  The BPS shoots them well with the Indian Cr, a Carlsons 670 & the Invector Plus Browning Full Choke. I shot them at 40 Yds. I didnt count the hits in a 10" circle but the pattern is uniform and pretty dense at 40 with each choke, much more than any of the shells I've tried.  I know the Win will kill turkeys and am confident the BPS will too ( I just bought it and will try it this spring )
I have some Hevi 13  3" with 2oz of #7 coming that I'm going to try too.  They may have more pellets but I dont think they will kill a turkey any more dead than the Blends do. :icon_thumright:

Let me know how that .650 and Hevi-Shot choke patterns them in your Stoeger.  I'm gonna pattern them in my Benelli M1 with the Hevi-Shot choke and a Kick's .660 tube.
