I've got a new browning maxus with a 26" barrel gonna shoot tss straight 9's 3-1/2 what Indian creek choke should I get 665 or 675
I really want a even pattern at 40 nothing to hot in the core just a really really even pattern.
Not sure how your barrel ID compares to a 870 but I use a .675 IC with 2.5ozs of #9s. With a .665 I was getting 550/260 patterns but with a .675 I get 500/300 patterns that are more even overall and what I hunt with.

A Maxus has and overbored barrel at .742. I would recommend a .675 at the tightest or get Indian Creek to make you a .685.
A cheaper alternative would be a .680 Carlson's, that what I run in my Invector plus guns. With 2.5oz of 9's the only way to mess that up is to shoot too tight of a choke.
Thanks for the info. Has anyone run a jebs in there maxus?
I've run my 2 Maxus with .665 Indian Creek and with Hevi-6 or Apex TSS 8.5 it's fantastic. 230+ and 320+ 40y/10"
One thing that is strange is Browning TSS #7 shoots a great pattern too but it's POI is low and left of any other shell I tried. Anyone have any info are they made with some other components that make them shoot different? Old H13 Longbeards Apex and old Remington shells all shot to same POI but the Browning TSS was consistent yet different.
