Went out and did a little shooting today. I was shooting a rem 870 compact with a 21" barrel, using a hastings .562. My friend brought his 870 with a 26" barrel, using a jellyhead .570. He also had a new puregold tempest .555 to try. The tempest would not pattern worth a darn in either gun. I only took a pic of one of the tempest patterns from my gun. My friend only shot one other shot with his. It was with the H-13 #7's. Temp was 65-70 with 15-20 mph winds.

Hastings did well in your gun !!! :icon_thumright:
I forgot to mention, we tried the new 20ga magnum blends through each choke. They are not worth shooting.
