Several days ago I had the chance to shoot my new 11-87 sure shot. I cleaned the
barrel  but did not polish it. Shooting the 3.5 inch #7 Heviewights, first shot put 180 in 9"  at 40, second was 210 in a 9" at 40. They were shot through the Truelock choke, I thought the paper plate was 10" but turned out to be 9"
Will post up some pics in a day or so.


would like to see them! Thanks.

Okay stand by while I get the camera and snap several pics, my new 11-87 has a 23" pipe, and the choke is the one that truelock made just for the Federal Heviweight # 7 shot. Pics in several min...

this was at 40 and I know the # are off, but I could not remember what they were. But I have a new hunting rig...

I used to turn 180's to 200 with the 3" fed HW 7's and the Hastings .665 non ported choke. This choke will shoot the FCW shells really well also. Rem 870 with a 21" barrel polished and choke polished as well. HW 7's are thumpers :)

No doubt they strike with force. Several years ago I shot at 3/8s plywood and at 62 yds the heviweight #6 shot blew through it..
