CB

I am going to use a 870 compact with a Bushnell red dot, I have some HW 7's that I wan't to use out of a RSF.I am going to try and find the Hastings .562 at some local gun stores and shows.Just waiting on some good weather to get it patterned.
Any other choke or ammo suggestions?
I also have some Hevi 6's to try.

I have the same gun as you. The hastings .562 will get in the 170's in the 10" at 40yds with the fed hw #7's. I've got a truglo gsx .565 that will do 150's with the H-13 #7's.

  The oringinal RSF is the best I've found so far.  I have a Hastings .566 on the way and my gunsmith is opening up a Swarm .555.  If you happen to find two of the Hastings .562 could you PM me with the name and phone number of the store?  Thanks.
