Title: Just bought an 870 Turkey/Predator
Post by: trippsims on March 03, 2013, 01:48:27 AM
I recently purchased a Remington 870 SPS Super Mag Turkey/Predator that comes from the factory set with a Truglo red red dot, 20" barrel, and other goodies. Does anyone have one and know a good shell to put through it with the Remington Super-full, or a choke/shell combo that shoots well out of it?

I have the same gun, I get great patterns from a jellyhead .660 and H-13 #6's..  If I were looking for a choke right now I'd buy a Sum Toy from William,great guy and he'll work with you.

I shot a Jellyhead out of my Super Nova last year and it worked well, I like the factory choke, and jelly heads, and Hevi13's so I guess I will have to just try it all out!
Thanks guys!

I have that same gun and I shoot TSS out of it but before that I tried a pure gold choke (.670) and the 3 1/2" mag blends and was getting good even patterns of just over 200, consistently. I also tried a Jellyhead in .660 and .665 and an Indian Creek in .665 with various Hevishot loads.


I loved the pure gold and Mag Blends but my second choice would be the  Jellyhead .660 and straight 7 shot.

How far were you getting patterns like that?
