Seems that this interest in opening up LB patterns by shooting open chokes is basically going backwards. If you want a more open patterns this could be achieved by just shooting Win XX or HV lead loads. Open chokes with LB's gets you about the same patterns as other Win loads. It's all lead after all.
Ex: 160-170 in a 10 @ 40. Win XX 3" 6's
140-150 in a 10 @ 40. Win HV 3" 6's
120-130 in a 10 @ 40. Win HV 3" 5's
* I can tell you that LB 3" 5's, 6's through kicks .655/.660 and an 870 21" bbl makes for one serious turkey gun.
* These chokes will also shoot Win XX and HV 5's, 6's 3" well over 100 in a 10 @ 40 easy. They will give you a gun that will shoot a number of shells well. This way you don't end up with a one shell gun shooting an open choke.
Just my experience with the 870 lead slingers. Favorite guns.
My thoughts and experience exactly!!
