Title: Rem. 20ga 870 w/ SSX
Post by: campcreekfarm on March 02, 2014, 04:41:04 PM
Was wondering if anyone shot this combo and what shells do you use?  Thinking about getting an SSX for my 20 with a 26" barrel and didnt know where to start and if it was a good choke for that gun.

It works very well with those shells.

Thanks,

The ssx did not shoot worth crap in my 26" 1187 with mag blends, hevi 7s or Fed HW 7s.

Sorry, I mis-read the post.

It works well with #6 & #7 Hevi-13s and with #7 Federal Heavyweights and with lead #5 & #6.

The very best patterns are with #7s of course.

This pattern is about 3 years old but you can see what it does with these shells.
