Patterned my new 870 20 Express

Patterned my new 870 20 ga Express (26 in barrel) this weekend. Used 3 " Fed Heavyweight 7's.

Tried two different chokes - Indian Creek .555 ported - Carlson flush mount .575 turkey choke

The IC did better...170 pellets in the circle at 40 yds compared to 140 with the Carlson.

Still a few more weeks until it gets put into live action. They're starting to gobble in Iowa...cant wait!

Sounds like both of those patterns will get the job done.

Hey Ben was wondering if you could tell me what the lot # is on those shells you were shooting? Thanks

I patterned my 26" 870 yesterday with some U lots and a 570 SumToy and a rem sf. The SumToy was in the high 160s and the rsf was mid 150s. Also shot the 562 SumToy with som P lots and got a high of 196 and averaged in the high 180s. Hope this helps some of the long barrel shooters.

I'll check when I get home. I don't think they are U or V.
