Title: what do yall think
Post by: stilker on March 11, 2011, 05:15:45 PM
What do yall think.   shooting an 870 3".  Kicks 665 choke.   Win Ext Range 3" 6's.  I got 150 in 10" at 40. Should i have expected more? Would a jellyhead perform better?

thats about average for that shell, i would stick with that combo, it should be good to at least 45yd

An Indian Creek will likely give you a bit tighter pattern and a few more pellets inside the 10, but nothing is going to give you any more of an even pattern than that Kicks.  That is a good hunting pattern.

that is a fantastic hunting pattern. i would not be afraid of a 50yd. shot at all if needed.
