Title: You pick the shell
Post by: tha bugman on March 23, 2016, 03:00:51 PM
I got my Remington back from the gunsmith.  He cut the barrel down to 21" I have a Indian creek choke tube.  What shell(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160323/0f898c7365358fe1a5837d2d2e66de6b.jpg) would you recommend?

If that is a .665 Indian creek, I would recommend LB 5 or 6's or Hevi 6's.  Good Luck.

Longbeards, mag blends, hevi 6 or 5. Lots of good loads for that combo. I'm sure it'll be a slayer!!

Nitro H321A in #6 or Hevi-13 #6

No Hevi13 #7 recommendations, surprising. #7s patterned great out of my IC and 870.

HS Magblends should be the ticket. Keep us updated with the results of your patterning session. Good luck.

3 inch Hevi 6's and 3 inch Mag Blends pattern great thru my Remington 1187 with 21" barrel and a .665 Indian Creek choke.

I got a 23" 870 with a .665 Indian Creek and it shoots 3.5" #5 longbeards very tight. Nitro h517 in 4-5-7 is about right . Good even pattern in about a 15" circle.
