Title: 835-ssx?
Post by: cjordan on March 16, 2013, 10:53:25 AM
I can't find any hevi 13 7s. How do you think it would do with hevi 13 5 or 6 3.5" shells? Also I found some mega blend 567 blend in a 3" how do you think that would work out? Thanks for your time and help.

I wouldnt hesitate to try out the 6's,  i actually preferr them over then 7's unless im jus looking to shoot big numbers on paper.

It should do very well with the #6 shot or the Magnum Blend shells in either 3" or 3.5".

Thanks,

You can't wait this close to turkey season and expect to hardly find Hevi-13 #7 loads.  A lot of folks shoot them because they simply will out pattern the MagBlends or the 6's.

Very good choke for the 835. Shoot mine yesterday finally and out of 5 diff shells thr mag blends were tops. 160+ in a 10in circle at 40. Good even pattern but what surprised me was the win hv 3.5 2oz 5's. 130+ in the 10. Now it's a toss up between the 2.  Only shell that dident do good was the fed 6's with flite control wad. Big holes in the pattern at 40

yea I haven't thought about season being this close. I guess I'll try out them 6's and mega blends. Now if only the choke will hurry and get here. Bad part is this week was about 70-72 deg, and no wind, now that the weekend is here its still around 72 but the wind is terrible

The wind really won't affect your 10" and 20" pattern on paper for numbers unless your talking about swirling winds.  But the wind will affect your point of impact to where it would be on a no wind or litte if any wind day.  .
