Just curious of opinions regarding , Browning BPS 12ga 3.5" invector plus choke/load combinations?
I've evaluated numerous choke load combinations and have settled on the following:
Indian Creek .675 31/2" EM MagBlends
Indian Creek .665 31/2" EM 6's & 7's
I get good even 20" patterns w/ both chokes w/ a denser 10" center core. The .665 pattern w/ MagBlends is a little more open than the .675. All my shells are "old" stock from the first year of production of the MagBlends and 7's and the previous years production of the "gold hull" 6's. I have not shot any of the current production shells.
I never found a choke which gave me a satisfactory "hunting pattern" w/ the Federal HW shells, but have been told that the Trulock designed for the Flitecontrol wad is giving the best patterns.

Thanks for the info i received a .665 IC in the mail last week and was able to do a little pattering over the weekend. I haven't had the firearm for only about 2 weeks now. This is with the new winchester xr longbeards #6's @ 50 yards. I have purchased some hevi-13's #5's and some mag blends 5x6x7's. Haven't had a chance to pattern the hevi shots yet though.

Excellent 50 yd pattern. I also have a BPS 12 gauge 3 1/2 inch and shoot an Indian creek .665 also. I plan to pattern some LB #6s if the weather ever clears.
I was very content with the first shot being a free handing shot. I was unable to make it to my range with bench rest and what not. Gonna sit down this weekend at the bench and with some big plaster board paper and do some more pattering.
