3" 870 Shell Shucker

3" BPS and 3" 870 using Indian Creek .665 chokes.

180 to 210 at 40 Yards with Temps in the Low 60's.

shot them out of my M2000 stoeger last year a few times. Was shooting them from an IC 665 and was getting about 180 at 40yds.

i have some more on the way to try in my sumtoy 650 and Hevi Shot choke. I have shot the 3.5 magblends out of those already and it was very pleasing.

I use them out of a Win SX2 26" bbl with an Indian Cr 665 and have patterned a BPS Upland Sp with 22" bbl.  The BPS shoots them well with the Indian Cr, a Carlsons 670 & the Invector Plus Browning Full Choke. I shot them at 40 Yds. I didnt count the hits in a 10" circle but the pattern is uniform and pretty dense at 40 with each choke, much more than any of the shells I've tried.  I know the Win will kill turkeys and am confident the BPS will too ( I just bought it and will try it this spring )
I have some Hevi 13  3" with 2oz of #7 coming that I'm going to try too.  They may have more pellets but I dont think they will kill a turkey any more dead than the Blends do. :icon_thumright:

Let me know how that .650 and Hevi-Shot choke patterns them in your Stoeger.  I'm gonna pattern them in my Benelli M1 with the Hevi-Shot choke and a Kick's .660 tube.
