A sore shoulder!  Sorry had to say it.  That will be a good setup, have a couple friends that ended up with that exact setup and it kills em dead.

If your sm came with the HD turkey/predator choke like mine, I thinks its .670 . I got great patterns out of the factory choke.

Ditto on the sore shoulder ... nitros are absolutely brutal ... invest in a lead sled before patterning
