Title: Let the testing commence...
Post by: Longspur321 on May 06, 2012, 09:11:07 AM
Received all my chokes and shells that I ordered yesterday.  :you_rock:Left to right (Tightwad .570, Hastings .562, PureGold .555, and an SSX .550). Special thanks to Mr. Clark Bush and O.G. member "Kates" for getting the SSX and the Pure Gold shipped to me so quickly. Ordered 3 boxes Fed's from Midway (lot # 37UT455) Hopefully at least one of these bad boys will throw me some good patterns because I'm seriously diggin' this 20 gauge thing.....

Mine shot the best with a hastings .562. I tried everything you've got plus a jelly head .570 and a puregold .570. I also tried the remington super full. neither of them compared to the hastings.

I know its not a Remington but my Mossberg super bantam did the following with the Fed HW 7's.
Tightwad .570  did 166/10"
Sumtoy .562-5 did 159/10"
Hastings .574  did 157/10"
All shot at 40 yds.

This is close to average with the hastings .562

I'm betting on the SSX, my sons shooting 160's consistently and shot a few 180 plus patterns, one of those patterns is posted in the pattern pictures.

I'd put money on that as well.
