Title: Browning Maxus 3.5 in Bottomland, any suggestions on a diet for it?
Post by: TANK on March 14, 2012, 03:51:13 PM
I just picked the gun up yesterday, and was wondering if some of you guys could help me save some $ on trial and era..... I already have the Silver NWTF and have been shooting a Hevi Choke in her with Hevi Blend. I also have some pretty common ammo in the closet.....Hevi 13 #6's, Extended Range #5's, Win Sup #4's, 5's, and 6's. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks

I'm using a jebs headhunter .650 with hevi #7 out of my maxus and it throws an awesome pattern at 40.

Of commonly available items, my choices would be these:

H-13 choke + 3.5" H-13 #6's (#5's might be good too)

IC .665 + 3.5" H-13 #6's or #5's

Jellyhaid .670 + Win XR #6's or #5's maybe

Unless POI is dead on, slap on a good sight, get it lined up, and go hunting!

Nitro H510c 4x5x7.
Jellyhead 670 250-285 hits.

Pure Gold 675, 180s in 10", 400 in 20".

This is the pattern to hunt with. 670 to tight for me.

At 40, I would rather have a 18" cloud of death headed his way anyway.
