The lower left seems to be the best at 100 pellets and 26 on the head/neck area. Remington Nitro Mag 3" #5. The Turkey Thugs in the upper left is pretty good too. The upper right is the $4 per round Federal Premium low recoil 7's. The lower right is Winchester XX 3" #5's. Won't buy the expensive ones again, didn't help. Pretty good for a 20 though, eh?

Get you a Sumtoy .562-5 or a Trulock .570 Heavyweight choke tube and shoot the 3" Federal 1.5 ounce Heavyweight 7's.  You'll get 150+ all day long in the 10" @ 40 yards.  I have the same SX3 that you do and I'm shooting these combinations.

Wow that is a big improvement! Maybe too tight for 15 yds and under?

I thought that I would see those numbers outta my rem 870 with the sumtoy and Fed hw 7. Shot 3 boxes and never broke 126. Number 6 shot the same as the 7s. Think I got a best of 124 with them. So I went to tss.

You know this is one of the sad things with the Federal shells.  I know it was the V or U lot numbers was bad.
Tell us just how dead do you want them to be and we will see if we can get that for you.

We need to figure out which Lot was bad, William. :OGturkeyhead:
