11-87 with 28" barrel

What would be a great choke and load for an 11-87 with 28" barrel?..  I got caught up on gunbroker and also purchased two guns at once....lol.   11-87 20 gauge compact also.

I forgot to add that I already have a jellyhead .660 for the 12 gauge, and a 20 gauge ssx .550

I shot an 11-87 3 inch gun with a 28in barrel last season. I had a .665 Jelly Head and shot HV Mag Blends 3 inch and was getting a consistent 190's in a 10'' circle at 40. I blew a bird down like he got hit with a mack truck at a touch over 40 last year. That cant be a bad place to start.

I currently have one with a 28" barrel and also have a 30" barrel for it. I've had a couple over the years and they both worked very well with a variety of chokes that I tried. Currently, I have a Hybrid in mine.

Since you already have the Jelly Head, I'd give it a try and see how it patterns. Any of the Hevi-Shot shells should work well for you.

Good luck with your new gun.

Thanks,
Clark

As said previously I'd shoot the chokes you already have before spending more money

Thanks for the replies.......I will let you know as soon as I get a chance to shoot

I have an 11-87 12 gauge with a 28" barrel also.

1st--Try the choke you have and see how it performs.

2nd--I shoot a Mad Max in mine and it performs well.

3rd--I shot a hevi shot tube in it and it was almost as good as the Mad Max

4th--Also tried an undertaker tube......don't waste your time.  It was awful in my gun.
