I was just wandering what you guys were getting in a 10 in. circle with hevi shot.
Im using a 12 ga 870 with a 21 in. barrel, a hevi shot choke, shooting the 3 in. mag blends and getting around 200 pellets in a 10 in. circle.
What are you guys getting and whats the setup?

That's fantastic! I wouldn't change a thing! That is a very good number for Mag Blends in a 3" shell!
Do you have any pics of your pattern?
And for a short 21" bbl.
Go forth and slay turkeys.....
I would be quite happy with those numbers with 3" mag-blends.
I don't think I have any pictures of the pattern, but I will take some next time I shoot it.
Sounds like a winner!
Thanks,
Clark

I agree.
Sounds like you are good to go!
Great numbers
No no no, that setup will never work. You better send it to me and start over. ;D
Remington 870 with a Jellyhead. Shooting Hevi #7's and getting 220 in a 10. I've done a little polishing on the barrel and hope the numbers will be better when I pattern it this weekend.
I was planing on polishing mine after turkey season

I'm turning the same numbers with mag blends out of a beretta urika and PG .670. Same setup turns 250-260 with Hevi 7's. I wouldnt touch a thing on that gun I would just hunt with it. There are people who spend allot of money on custom guns that won't shoot that well.
That will do :icon_thumright:
I just patterned mt 870 SM, 3.5" H-13 #7, with a Jelly Head .665. I am averaging 260 pellets at a 10" circle at 40 yards. Been thinking about a SSX .643 just for fun
I have similar results from my Benelli SBE II 26" barrrel, .655 GG choke tube. The last time I patterned, I got 190 with Hevi Magblend, 276 with Nitro Magblend, and 317 with Hevi #7s, so you can probably expect some significant differences in results depending on which load your gun likes best.
Good luck and report back what you find.
Sounds like killer to me.
180-190's with magblends and .660 Jellyhead from my 23" 870SM and 3.5 inch load
270-290's with #7 Hevi and same gun & choke, 3.5 inch shell
160's with 3 inch 2 oz #6 Hevi & same setup
170-180's 3.5 inch 2.25 oz #6 Hevi & same setup
