Remington 870-21" Barrel and 3" 2 oz. Hevi 7's--Which Choke Are You Using??

[SKFOOTER]

Which choke tube are you using with this combination and what kinda patterns are you getting??  Thanks.

As you know the short barrels like the 21" on the 870s can be a challenge but the #7 shot shells throw so many pellets they can help a lot. The best choke I can find for that combo is the SSX due to its design. I've shot mostly #6 shot through that barrel but from memory, the #7s I've shot have produced very dense patterns that would certainly do the job. I'd have to look back to get you a count however.

Thanks,
Clark

I shoot a Jelly head .660" on my 21" barrel on my 870.  I shoot Hevi-13's with 3 X 2 X 7's.  I get 248 at 40 yards in a 10" circle.  I love this shotgun.

I have the same exact gun.  I tested the JH .665, Pg.670, and H13 .664.  Out of those, the JH gave me slightly better results.  I was around the 200 mark in the 10".  Not mind blowing patterns, but they were very even and I had room for error.  I Killed a couple of KS birds that were around 45 yards with no problem.

If I had to do it again, I'd like to try the .660

Rhino .660 with Hevi 3-2-7 will put 230-250 @40yds.

i have the jh 665 and with hevi 13 3-2-7's i got 242 @ 40 and the 3-2-6's were in the 220's....i've been trying to find a 28" or 30" to trade my 21" barrel for...i'm not a fan for a short barrel at all

have the same gun and my chokes are sumtoy(.662) good jellyhead (.665) better and sumtoy (0.658) best

Sumtoy shoots a good even 10 and 20 nice and consistant, I actually get better numbers out of the jellyhead but its not as even a pattern.
