I'm currently shooting a strut stopper extreme out of my 835 but have a colonial 'star dot' showing up tomorrow.
If things go right I'll have 6 different rounds to put thru it from LBs to hevi 13 to magnum blend and some Winchester extended.
Looking forward to it.
if you get some good patterns with the magnum blend or the Winchester extended you don't have to worry about 1050 vs 1200 velocity in my opinion. Those two loads are killers.

I do get a good pattern with the extended. Curious to see how the blend shoots. Get great patterns with the long beard too. I guess I'm one of those guys that get cabin fever and want to tinker with new loads and chokes even tho I have plenty of good options already.

I'm thinking about the bone collector too. Not sure if I should buy it before trying my 'star dot'

Never had one of those. Believe I would wait.

I'm also curious about the Carlson long beard choke.
.683 is at least different than the .675 that a lot of other chokes use.

Pattern beats FPS every time. Both loads will kill birds at ethical distances. Nice even patterns are best as they have less "holes"
