This is a an early 90's 870 youth 21" barrel that I put a Hogue stock set and a Bass Pro Blackout 575 choke on it which is made by Carlson. I tried Federal Heavyweight 7's, Hevi shot magblend 5,6,7, and Winchester Long Beard XR #6.  Also, tried Winchester Supreme #5 which was laughable unfortunately.  The HW and Magblend shot almost identically, but the magblend wasn't quite as even a pattern out of this choke. I was really impressed with the heavyweight AND the lead LBXR load.  Either load would've taken the head off last years bird at 20 yards!  One thing is for sure I will be investing in adjustable sights next season instead of a Hi viz bead.  Not completely awesome results, but it will work.

Those heavyweights are great!  Best 20 ga load imo!

The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.
