First picture is of the straight 7's shot from a Jellyhead in my 870 compact last year.

I bought a Remington SF after the season last year in anticipation of trying the Federal HW 7's this year. I shot them a couple of weeks ago and wasn't too happy, but decided to run my Nitro's through that choke just to see if there was a considerable difference from the Jellyhead. The 2nd picture is what the 4x5x7's did. The straight 7 numbers dropped well below the Jellyhead. I'm hunting with the 4x5x7's when I tote this gun this spring. Pattern was nice and even.

CB that is a nice pattern. I have no idea why mine didn't throw a better pattern with the Straight 7's and the Remington SF. I was shocked actually. It was consistently around 180 with the Jellyhead though.
