Good Numbers?

[Punisher]

I have an old 870 that originally had a 28" barrell on it that was gave to me as a Christmas present by my father around 22 years ago.  I killed my first turkey with this gun and have now purchased a 21" barrell and am wanting to use it once again to take a longbeard.  Yesterday I put the TG SSX I recently purchased in it and tried a Hevi 3" 2 oz. #6 through it.  With a deep cleaned bore I got 206/10" at 40 yds. and was wondering if those were good numbers or could better be achieved with the Hevi #6s with a different choke.  I also shot a 3" Mag Blend and got 159/10".  I am really wanting to use the Hevi #6s and was wanting to get some opinions.

With 200+ in the 10/40 I would roll with it! I don't think I have seen anyone post over 230+ with even 3.5-2.25-6 H13's.

I would say you have a killer rig!

Those are very good numbers. Have a great season and please let us know about your success in the turkey woods.

Thanks,

Sounds like you are ready to roll some heads!

Dont change a thing!  You stand to loose your pattern, sanity, and money.

I have one box left of old H13 2.25 oz 6's that will do 230-240 consistently at 40 yards. The new stuff I just bought is shooting around 120. I'm bummed out big time. I'd kill to be getting even 200 again with the 6's. I might try a box of the 3 inch 6's and see what they do for me.

How about *260*

I deep cleaned the bore about six to eight shots before this pattern.  Do you guys think the barrel needs deep cleaning again or should it be fine?

[nyhunter]

I'd deep clean it again if it were me BUT I'm kind of a clean barrel freak, I'm sure it will still kill a bird stone dead at 40 yds.  200 out of a 3" #6 great. My son's 870 3" with the same load will do 170's.
