Title: What pellet count should I expect from XRHDs in a sumtoy .665 and 870SM?
Post by: lock1nout on March 20, 2014, 10:31:48 AM
I got a couple of boxes from last year I need to pattern with my .665 sumtoy. What pellet count should I expect in a 10" circle on average? (3.5 #6's 2oz)

Did some searching on the forums but cant find much

Hard to say...but my best guess would be 180-225 in the 10" at 40 yards.  Again that's just a guess based on what I shot through a 835.  When you shoot a few let us know how it worked out!  :icon_thumright:

Are you shooting a 3" or 3.5" shell in the SM?

It will be more than enough for turkey kill'n.  Once you hit 150 you're in overkill mode.   

I like overkill  ;D

Dang it Drum  turkey season isn't even started good and I'm already overlooking details. I saw it the second look though and thanks for helping the elderly crowd.

I tried the 3" 1.75oz #6 XRHD and got 193 with an Indian Creek .665

I imagine the .665 SumToy choke will get after it.
