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.
the 5's shoot very well out of my 835 with my stardot
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
