Anyone shot LB 3in #5's through a Remington Ventilator?

I wanted the jelly head max in the .665 but couldn't find one. I'm thinking about like you on your theory. That's why I was curious about the ventilator when I thought it was .665

Turkey buster, your #s sound pretty good but if I were you and looking to gain more, I would try a .665 choke. I will get arguments on this but in my experience with Remingtons, very little, if anything is gained when you go tighter than .665. More often than not, numbers go down and not up.

I believe .665 to be more consistent with its patterns than anything tighter.

Yup, I have shot great patterns out of my 870's with Kicks .655 and Ventilator .655 with standard lead 6's. I have yet to get a good pattern with 5's out of the .655's. Have turned 160's with LB's 5's out of a Kicks .660. Have a IC .665 that will turn some amazing patterns with all of the Hevi 13 3" shells and am interested to see what it will do with LB 5's.
