Is The Rem Full Tight Enough?

Has anyone patterned the Rem full with Fed HW 7's? I've read talk of over choking with the heavy stuff, wondering if anyone opens up this much. I'm setting up a 20 ga. 870 for my daughter and the last thing I want is to get too tight for that 20-30 yard shot.

Shoot it..only way to find out. A few shots and you will be able to determine her range.

I set up a 870 20" with rifled sights for my 7 year old to take to Kansas this past spring.  I used a factory Mod and Hevi13 7's and it patterned excellent to 30 yards the limit I set for him.  I really was not going to let him shoot past 25 yards but wanted a little buffer.  He shot 2 birds with 1 shot at 12 yards.  Glad I did not go to a full choke like I was going to.  He may have missed that close. 

The factory full should be plenty for the range a youth should be shooting.
