Hevi-13 .662 choke and Magnum Blend.   Or Jellyhead .660 and Hevi-13 #7's.  Both combo's give me 200 pellets in a 10 inch 40 yard circle from my 21" Remmy. :OGturkeyhead:

Can't go wrong with the hevi stuff and any decent turkey choke.

Thanks guys! It is amazing what Hevi has done for short barrels! And the choke people have done themselves proud as well...

sumtoy .660 and jellyhead .665 with Hevi 3-2-6

the sumtoy shots 170 in 10 and a nice even 20 perfect for hunting, just anchors the birds

My 11-87 likes the IC .665 with my handloaded hevi-shot 6's X. 7's duplex.  It also shoots very well with 3-2-7's.

Remington Super Full "Lead Only" and Remington Super Full "Hevi-shot" with TSS 9's.  Both chokes pattern extremely well with TSS in both 21" barrel 20ga's I have.

I use the 21" in my 870 SP super mag with Rhino choke Remington Nitro 5s' I dont do much pellet counting but it will flat out put the turkeys down

Mine shoots very well with a Kicks GT .665 and Win XR #5's....it also shoots the #6's very well.  Don't have any numbers but the amount of dead birds with this combo is a pretty good testiment.

I was curious to see the Jelly Head combo on here....I may have to try that!!
