What would be a good load to try in a Remington 870 super mag with a .665 hs undertaker. I have shot 3" mag blends and got 125 at 40.

In lead the Win LBXR , Federal Flite Control, Win Supreme XX 3-13/4-6 or 3-2-6, Turkey Thug all in #5 or #6 your choice.

For Heavier Than lead the Fed HW #7 or #6 or H-13 #6 or #7 should give excellent patterns.


Best bet for economy and first try? Win Longbeard XR 3-1 3/4-#6.

Note: if you like up up close and personal the Win Lead sixes or fives will serve you well I believe.

I just patterned my SX3 with LB 3 and 3 1/2 #5's with .665 briley rifled choke.  They were so tight I will hunt with the Winchester supreme HV in #5's.  I have 870 supermag and I believe that if you are looking for a tight pattern I would use 3 or 3 1/2 Long Beard in a #5 shot.  I also have a .655 factory choke I was going to pattern but the Patterns I got with the .665 were so tignt I didn't pattern it.

I forgot that I did try 3" #5 turkey thugs in it and i got less than 90 at fourty yards. I may get a box of the long beards to try in the gun all I have seen around here is 5s. Would they be ok thru a .665 constriction choke or would 6s do better ?

My Undertaker is a 665 Remington ported. I don't believe they make it anymore with the ports. It loves Long Beards and Win Supreme HV 6s. It shot 115 with Long Beard 5s.

Im my 870 I shoot a Balistic Specialties Choker and the Undertaker is very similar to it...I've never got magblends to shoot worth a dime.  Try Hevi #6 or Win Longbeards or even the old Win HV I prefer #6 in lead or 6 or 7 in htl.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Mag blends seem to shoot better with a Jellyhead choke,IMO.
Hunt every day as if it were your last.
