In my SBEII/SSX, with the 3 inch loads, I averaged a little over 150/10/40.

Got a SSX in my nelli m2, shot the blends through it Sat. Got alot more in the kill zone but alot more flyers than HV Win 1 3/4 #5 that I'd shot the other day.
Dead turkey with either shell, but that .643 may be a little to tight for the blends. I think the HS #6's and 7's would produce better numbers through that choke out of my weapon.

^^^^^what he said^^^^^^

But out of all the chokes I tried out of my nelli SSX was the cheapest and the best patterning that I've tried out of mine.

What kind of gun are you shooting? Different guns will react differently with this choke, because of thier bore diameter. An 835 has a bore dia of .775, and the SSX choke is .670. The SBE II has a bore dia of .723 and the SSX is a .643. If you have an 870, you have a .729 bore dia, and a .643 SSX choke. Loads can react very differently between those three guns.
Remington 870 special purpose 21" barrel I believe

Thats the gun I got and (i wish I still had the pictures for you) but mine liked the more open chokes better than the SSX. I had the best luck shooting a 670 pure gold with the blends in my 870 and then the .665 IC was a close second. I could have gone either way in picking between those two chokes but the PG shot pretty well.

Sorry for the picture quality but it was from my phone. The PG had a nice even pattern and decent numbers.
