3" 870 Shell Shucker

So far, the best combo I've seen in my 870 has been an Indian Creek .665 and 3" 2 Ounce Hevi13 #7.  294 in 10" at 40 Yards at 90 Degrees with a 3" shell.

3" Hevi13 6's, 3" Magnum Blends, 3" Winchester XRHD 6's, 3" Winchester Supreme HV #5 Lead, and old 3" PMC Copperplated Lead Turkey loads have ALL given solid patterns through the Indian Creek .665 in my 3" 870.

My 26" 870 Super Mag has a polished barrel, Williams Firesights and a SUMTOY .650.

It is currently throwing 231 pellets in a 10" circle at a measured 40 yards with Hevi-13 3.5" 2.25ounce 6's.

William at Sumtoy was highly cooperative.  He listened to my performance objectives, understood what loads I was looking to achieve them with, made a recommendation on exit diameter and built me an unbelievable choke.

I have an 870 SuperMag with the sureshot stock.  I have a SumToy choke(don't remember the constriction off hand).  I am using open sites on it for now.  I have a Nikon ProStaff scope, but don't want to add it unless I have to.  Patterns good:  240 hits in 10" circle at 40 yards with HeviShot 3.5" #7.
