I picked up a new Rhino .660" choke tube at the NWTF Convention for my Remington 11-87 3" Turkey Gun. I'm about to get tired of the 3 1/2s beating me to death. I got a chance and some good weather to take it to the range Sunday to see how it would shoot. I got in a hurry leaving the house and left the two new boxes of Hevi 13 Mag Blends that I also picked up. I also haven't yet received the 3" Nitros I have on order. I picked up several different shells and two 3 1/2" guns that also needed to be sighted in. I'd had the scopes off because they double as waterfowl guns during the winter.
I sighted the guns in with 2 3/4" low brass 6s at 25 yards them moved back to 40 yards to shoot some patterns. The only turkey loads I had with me were some of the old Hevi 13s in the white hulls. They were 1 3/4 oz of #6 shot. I was very impressed with the pattern, especially the center. I think I can get by without the super magnums. I am still curious to see how the Mag Blends and Nitros shoot through this gun though.

Best shell ever made and ya got her choked about right
Luckily I've still got a 10 pack of 6s and a 10 pack of 5s.
Those shells would be monsters in #7s

I havent checked lately but we have 10 to 15 boxes or so..
You don't need nothing else. That pattern will easily work out to 50yds and maybe then some.
Killer pattern! :icon_thumright:
excellent pattern
