Title: 835 and thugs
Post by: neohiohunter on April 15, 2013, 03:17:28 PM
Well I had to see what all this hype was about with the thugs. I picked up a box of 3.5 6's. I normally shoot at 40 yards but not having shot my 835 with the stardot choke since last year I shot at 30 yards. I got 261 in the ten with  dirty barrel and after I use up my hevi 7's these will be my go to shells.wow!

They shoot very well out of my 835 with a stardot as well, but preferr the SSX in the rem 870.

They do not do good from my 835 and Stardot.  The 6's barely break 100 @ 40yds and the 5's almost made it to 60 @ 40yds.

I got a 147 with 3.5" 6s and my IC .675

I didn't count the SSX .670 target because I need to clean and reshoot.. The SSX looked tight but was not as even as the IC

I'll try the 5's as soon as I can find them the 6's were hard enough to find. Shells shoot great but u better hang on Cuz boy do they kick! Its just nice to find a good pattern for an affordable price
