Title: 870 with lead
Post by: Spurs on March 12, 2012, 06:17:41 PM
It has been a few years since I have shot lead, so I am kinda wondering what some of you guys think. 

870 special purpose...3"
23"bbl
Ventilator or Jelly head .665
Winchester 2 oz #6 copper plated. 

I am sure that someone on here has attempted this setup before.  Let me see some pic and numbers.

Jellyhead with the 6's. Might try some 5's too. All the 870's I have ever owned just loved xx #5's. I have a 870 SM that I shoot a jellyhead .665 and winchester hv 3.5/2/5's out of and it loves them.
