Anyone shoot the nitro 517 and a pg .670 in a remington?? I know with this much shot a larger choke is needed, Is the .670 enough? I have shot the 510c with excellent results, I may go with them again.
prolly need to back down to the h51013a laods. the 517t loads was developed for the 835 according to nitro and shoot better out of a really open choke.

I would think they would shoot good in a 835/935 with the big bore.
I forgot to mention Im shooting a 870,
There were a few patterns posted before the crash that were over 300 with plenty of shot in the 20" also that were from a 870 or a 1187.
Here is a 1187 pattern shooting the H517s with a .670 PG.

There it is; Thanks BT I thought it was you but couldnt remember for sure. Have you compared this combo with other nitro offerings??

Found my pattern pic. I feel I could have gotten much more with a .680+ ED, in a quality (PG or IC) choke.
However, I don't shoot these anymore, because they are just too painfull, and don't pattern near as well as my 2 1/4 oz loads.

awesome pattern!!
Well I just got my 517T's in hand and will be shooting one this afternoon with the Winchester 1300 and a .665. If it is anywhere close to what you guys show, I will be very happy.
