Rem 870 & LB XR 6’s

I recently picked up Tru-Lock's Longbeard Choke .650 construction. Here are the results. I'm pretty pleased. What do you guys think?

What gun?  To me it looks a little over choked. The pattern as large holes in it. I'm shooting a .665 out of my Remington and get 225 in the 10 at 40 regular.  Don't get me wrong it will kill a bird for sure, but I think it can do better

Agreed, I think it's too tight.  .660-.665 I think will shoot better.


My 20" barrel 870 is high 180's-190's in the 10" @ 42yds with a Kicks .660

Agreed - overchoked. Those are decent numbers for 5s, but 6s should do considerably more.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have a .660 and a .665. I'll try to give them a whirl later in the week

I'm not sure how your barrel would run, but I had great results out of the Hevi choke .656 I consistently got over 200 in a 10 inch circle at 40 yard and my best with a clean bore was 235.

I agree with every one else by looking by looking at that pattern I think it's over choked.

I tried out the Carlson .660 today and it was much better. 198 pellets in the 10" circle at 40 yards

Looks good to me.

Now that is much more like it. Congrats.
