Title: Indian Creen .665 - Lead only loads
Post by: vpsalin on April 22, 2014, 08:06:22 AM
Can I expect to get by with an Indian Creek .665 tube for all my hunting needs (40-45y max) using only 3'' lead loads?

I shoot an indian creek .665 in my 870 super mag.  The only 2 3in lead loads I've tried in it were winchester hv 5's and federal turkey thug 6's.  I got around 100 with the win and 138 with the thugs. Only way to know for sure is pick up a few different loads and let the lead fly.

Has anyone tried the LongBeard #6s through the IC 665 tubes?

I have that choke in my 26" barreled 870. It throws 200 with 3" LongBeard 6s and 140/150 with 3" LongBeard 5s
