Title: 835 help
Post by: redrivergar on May 05, 2012, 07:17:50 PM
I have an 835 with a primos tightwad choke tube .690 installed. Just curious if anyone else uses this setup with lead and if so which she'll gives best result with 3" shells? I asked in the other thread and it was all hevi shot answers and I want to stick with lead.

Give the Win HV 3.5-2-#6 lead and the Win XX 3.5-2.25-#6s a try .
The Win XX 3.25-2.25-#5 load should do well if you don't like 6s.

I apologize for not seeing the 3" request.

3-2-#6 Win XX
3-1 3/4-#6 Win HV
Fed FC 3" #6 loads

Since you're sticking with 3"...Win XX 3-2-6's.  Win Super X 3-1 7/8-6's should be OK, too.
