A few weeks ago I patterned my 870 with 20" barrel and red dot scope with a new Hevi Shot .662 choke. I am very pleased with how it shot today in 95 degree temperatures. I shot Hevi 13 3-2-#6's and Winchester Xtended range 3-1 3/4-#5's.  See attached pictures...left mouse click pictures below.

Any suggestions on how to make it even better for 40 yard shots?

Nice pattern on the hevi 6s. That's a awsome load and you have a impressive pattern with great #s out of a 3 inch shell. It's not gonna get much better than that shooting the hevi 3-2-6s.

My suggestion is buy more H-13 # 6  and save your money. I wouldn't change a thing your combo is shooting great.

Hevis look good to me. I would leave it alone.

Thanks for the feedback.

I do wish I had tried Win Xtended #6's just to compare to the Hevi #6. I was thinking the Hevi #6 would hit harder than the Win #6?

Does anyone have any experience with Hevi 13 #6 and Win xtended HD #6.....which one hits harder at 40 yards?

Both are 12g the hevi is 1090fps and the win extnd. is 1225 fps.; The Win extnd. will hit like a freight train.

Thanks! I think I will have to at least try the Win Xtended #6's to see how they pattern.

Does anyone know how they will perform with the Hevi choke .662?

The xr 6's will have a few less pellets than the hevi; they should pattern good but the xr's usually like to be choked more like lead a .655 may be better. Every gun's different though the hevi .662 may be great with them.

Thanks for the info.

Who makes a .655? Is this special order?

Kick's makes a .655 for RemChoke systems.

This. I love these shells. They may not put up hevi-13 numbers, but the uniform consistancy, and sheer power make up for the numbers.

Ive shot lots of hevi through the kicks chokes; various guns and guages with no issues just great patterns.
