Rem 11-87 21"brl Jelly Head.660 and Hevi-Shot 3-2-7's results

[sierra6]

I have 5 dedicated turkey guns and my favorite of the bunch is the exact same 11-87 as yours....Identical.  I've been shooting Hevi-13, 3-2-6 loads in it for about 4 seasons now with a Tru-Glo Strut Stopper X-Treme choke and getting results that average over 200 in the 10" circle at 40yds.

Your results are excellent and you will love that setup!

just curious why your putting 2 shots and 5 shots in it why not put 1 shot and see how it patterns in a 10'' circle, from last time i hunted a turkeys head was about 10'' long and about 4'' thick so it seems that  there is 3'' on both sides of the head thats wasted shot,,,,,

He shot each target once. He got the average of 5 shots from the 660 and the average of two shots from the 665. Hope this helps . Those are thick turkey necks where you last hunted.

Very nice even patterns, but not the huge numbers that people used to post up for Jelly Heads in Remingtons. 

My 870 and Indian Creek .665 turned out 294 with the Hevi13 3-2-7 shell at 90 degrees, and 180 with the 3" Magnum Blend shell at 60 degrees. 

Don't worry too much about the numbers.  Good even coverage is where it's at, IMO.

I got about the same with a longer bbl:

Awesome patterns.

Ok threw 2 shots down range today with the JellyHead .665 and the Hevi-Shot 3-2-7's and heres the patterns.


So between the 2 shots they averaged 213 bb's inside a 10"circle at 40 yds.The JellyHead .660 averaged 211 inside the 10"circle with a 5 shot average.So basically it was a draw between the JellyHead .660 and the JellyHead .665.

I shot 2 shots with the Hevi-shot Mag Blend 3-2-5,6,7's and they averaged 165 bb's inside the 10"circle at 40 yds.

In my testing now between the H-S Mag Blend and the HS #7's is that i get approximately 50 more hits inside the 10"circle at 40 yds with the 7's.

Hope this helps a few ppl out if there decideing what load or choke they want to shoot.If anyone is looking for a Jellyhead .665 for a Remington PM me and i'll give you a better deal than i got on this one.Theres been a total of about 20 shots run through it,id also consider a trade.

Thanks,

thanks I have the .665 jellyhead and was wondering about the .660 and if it would help much.. I have considered trying a IC or Sumtoy this year as well.

I have an 870 21" barrel (unpolished) that got 110 with 3-2-7's and 80 with 3-2-MB at 51yds

I'd like to give the 3-2-6's a try this season.. should I stick with the .665 or try a .660

.665 has been the ticket for me and hevi shot.  More even pattern and better numbers as this test has shown as well.

Very nice. My 11-87 likes a pure gold but i never tried a Jelly Head. I might when i have nothing better to do.

Great patterning and results...  I'm itching to get my new 11-87 SM dialed in and your info is great to have as I am deciding on choke tube to try on the gun.  Plan is to use Win HV 5s in 3 and 3.5 but nice to know what it could do if I pony up the cash for hevi13.
