Gun specs?    Is that a 870 barrel with screw in chokes?

I have a 870 express 28 ga i bought when i was 15 and have thought about trying to kill a bird with it...

Yes 870 with Rem choke. This is using the factory full tube. I let the barrel get fouled after this and the patterns actually tightened up. This is from this morning at 30 yards.

Isn't that awesome?  I'm hunting with my 28 this year too.

I had a Briley extended X-Full which shot better with lead. After talking with Jason at Apex I switched to the factory full tube. These shell leave a lot of deposits in the barrel. I had deep cleaned the barrel before shooting the first pattern. Apparently these shells in this gun want a dirty bore. It has rained so much that I haven't been able to get another 40 yard shot in.
