Title: Mag Blend out of a .660?
Post by: Snoody Bastid on May 01, 2011, 12:05:00 PM
Anyone here get decent patterns shooting Hevi Mag Blend 5,6,7's out of a .660 Jellyhead (Rem 1187-3")? Or, is it too tight for the 5's? I'm doing great with the Hevi13 3-2-6 and wanted to try the Mag Blends. Thanks..

I got around 230 in a 10 inch at 40 with an 870 and a JH .660.  That is with the 3.5" shell.

My 870 patterns well with both 3 & 3 1/2 Mag Blends & the 3"#6 Hevi-13's
using a .660 Rhino. Eleven birds will attest to that.
I changed to a .665 Jeb's because it gave me the best pattern using the
3 1/2 Blends, but the .660 Rhino still delivered good patterns in my 870.
Your gun may be different, but a .660 should work well.

the mag blends did pretty good out of my .660 rhino but they patterned better out of my .670 rhino

Thanks for all the replies guys. Looks like I should be good to go. I'll give it a shot. (pun intended).

I'm getting very good patterns with my Rhino (.660) and the Mag Blends in my SBE 2.

Yea, I shot my first bird with the Mag Blends a few weeks ago.  41 lasered yards with a .660 Rhino and a 23" barrel 870, leveled him!
Good to hear. I forgot to mention that my gun has a 21" barrel.

.660 does well out of a remington with hevi shot
