Title: Help,due to gun problem I need advice fast on what works in an 1187 Super Mag
Post by: Mike Honcho on March 16, 2013, 08:25:29 PM
Due to a problem with one of my guns I may have to buy another one right away.  I found an new in box 1187 Super Mag 23" barrel , camo.   I have no experience with the 1187 super Mag and own no Remington chokes. 

I will polish barrel before patterning. Appreciate any advice on loads either lead or heavier than lead and chokes.  I will probaby shoot 3.5" but also will consider 3".

Thanks in advance guys.

Mike

You should try the turkey choke that comes with it also

Any of those chokes will throw a mean pattern.

And I've got a choke for that gun for sale that'll shoot good too. It's a Remington .675 hevishot choke.

Hey Gumby not giving up on the Turkeyslayer!!!!  I've got it set up with a Red Dot and I want my # 2 gun set up with no optics...plus I'll use the 1187  for waterfowl, hence the desire for a semi auto.


You can't have too many shotguns!

I just brought a 11-87 super mag a few weeks ago. I have settled with HEVI #7... as for the choke... seems like the factory stock choke is really good... especially with mag blends or #6.  I just got a .660 Jellyhead.. and will be shooting it next week. I have a feeling it will be a little better for the #7.
