That is the exact set-up I'm shooting in my xtrema 2 with the same results as you with the #7's. After I shot them I didn't see the need to put anything else through it..

Thats the best setup i have come across is the Beretta Xtrema/  Hevi Choke and Hevi 7's.  Goblr77 gave me the heads up on that choke working well in the Xtrema and he was right.  My setup will also shoot an amazingly even round pattern with the 3.5/2.25/6's.  I was able to find a number of boxes of those for 19.99 so i stocked up on them as well. My gun has a 24" and i understand some of th folks with the 26"-28" are turning even higher numbers. Xtrema is a turkey machine,  quality gun with amazing patterns.
