New Mossberg 500 Grand Slam 22 inch *update with ssx

[Bolandstrutters]

Pretty happy with this pattern out of the stock extra full turkey choke.  I've got a truglo ssx on order to compare.  I don't count, I just decide if it'll hunt or not!  3 inch #7 Federal Heavys.  40 yards.

He ain't gonna survive that, nice even pattern. Nice when a factory choke will kill one.  Ssx should really shoot for ya

[chatterbox]

You're gonna love that SSX!
I have one in my 20 ga Mossy Turkey Thug, and I get 150+ in the 10 ring at 40 yards with the same load, with no major gaps.

Good luck!

nothing wrong with that pattern, sometimes some of those factory chokes will surprise you

[TrackeySauresRex]

  Right on!

[Bolandstrutters]

New choke will be here on Wednesday.  I'll post the results!

[Bolandstrutters]

Here's the same setup with the SSX.  42 yards.  Winds were gusty and around 80 degrees.  Overall a better pattern, but not by much over the stock.

[surehuntsalot]

either one will certainly kill a bird....good luck

[chatterbox]

I think the SSX is much better.
I don't see any large gaps in the pattern. Very uniform, a great hunting pattern!

Agreed

[Bolandstrutters]

Yeah after looking at it a few more times, I agree.  Quite a bit better.

[7shooter]

Both are great patterns but the pattern with the SSX looks more dense and even to me

 Ssx is pretty even
