Quote from: SKFOOTER on March 15, 2016, 05:54:00 PMI took Owlhoot's advice and purchased a Carlson's .640 non-ported turkey choke for my Remington 1187 Greenleaf w/21" barrel and patterned the 3 inch 1 5/8 ounce Federal HW #7's. Put 183 pellets in 10" circle @ 40 yards the first shot, 165 the 2nd shot and 152 the 3rd shot. That's a 3 shot average of 167 in the 10" @ 40 yards. Evidently this load likes a squeaky clean barrel in my gun. This will be my dedicated field gun this season
Quote from: briton on March 15, 2016, 08:10:51 PMI have a Remington 870 SPS and shoot the Turkey/Predator choke (non-ported, .670 I think) that came with the gun with the 3.5in. 1 7/8 load and got 153 in the 10" at 40, pretty even pattern and not too tight on the 20 and 30yd. Was fairly satisfied with em considering the POI was nearly dead on and I didn't have to change my sights. Now I am torn between Fed HW 7 or Win LB's (averaging 220 with 6 shot and around 180 with 5's on the LB's). Pattern Density with LB's or Hard hitting HW 7's,?
Quote from: 357MAGNOLE on March 15, 2016, 09:44:42 PMI got 157 in the 10". Keep in mind this is with the 20 gauge load not a 12. So I think it's pretty good. It was putting 268 in the 10" at 25. I didn't do a photo but I was getting about 225 at 30 yards.
Quote from: Fullfan on March 15, 2016, 08:44:02 PMAs I have stated before, I bet I have tried 10 chokes when I was trying to get the Heviweights to pattern. I spent so much time and money on shells and chokes it was ridiculous. At first I was trying to get the #6's to shoot well. I could never get over 150 in the 10 at 40. And then along came the Heviweight #7 and a Truelock choke.My 21" 11-87's with the 3" shell will do 170-180 all day.My 24" Super X-2 with the 3.5 shells will do 210-220 all dayMy 23" sure shot with 3.5 shells does the same 210-220 all day.The patterns are all very even.
