20ga 870 youth with 21" barrel
Truglo ssx with federal heavyweight #7 shot 1-1/4 ounces
184 hits
Think I may try 6 shot next, have a little more knock down if I can get a good pattern also
Big numbers for 1-1/4 oz.....
That'll kill 'em! Excellent numbers for, especially for the 1 1/4 oz load.
My bad, they 1-1/2 oz loads, my mag blends are 1-1/4

I'd stick with the #7s. They will have more than enough power to shoot out to as far as your pattern will allow.
Congratulations! That will certainly do the job.
Thanks,
Clark

I second this. My 12 only puts up about 10 more pellets with HW #7 and it's deadly at any reasonable range.
Hw is a different animal, 7s are more than enough!

What distance, maybe I missed it?
This a handload?

That's a lot better than my 870 20ga. 21" with a titewad tube. Mine only put up 128 in the 10" at 41 yards. But it was 54*, it might do a little better when it's warmer.

yea, I'm not very technically knowledgable in patterns vs temperature and stuff but it was about 70 degrees when I shot the pattern.
Thought the 3" was 1.5 oz, did they change them?

it is 1-1/2 oz, I replied afterward stating I got em mixed up with my mag blends that are 1-1/4
Got you, was just confused. That is a great pattern!

That is the combination that Clark reccomended for my youth 11-87. With his recommendation and your results, I am eager to try it.
should have no problems with that pattern
Killer pattern!
