still have issues with 535 pattern

[hs strut]

both barrels are spotless and have been deep cleaned

[owlhoot]

Good and dried out before you shot. No oily residue in the barrel?

[hs strut]

yes we ran patches till they were dry and spotless

[jrmcclure]

My 535 loves hevi magnum blends. I shoot the 3" to help with recoil. I shoot a. 660 Primos tightwad. About 220 pellets in a 10" circle.  It patterns tight, I also find a red dot helpful.

I wouldn't waste anymore time on patterning lead. I tried it all and wasn't  happy, a few were decent out of the 28" barrel the 22" barrel was afwul with lead.  Hevi shot can be ordered online and has a $10 rebate a box now . You will be glad you switched to hevi

thanks im goin to try and order a box or two monday and as for the recoil i know what ya mean those 3.5s pack a pretty hard punch what choke are you running

[owlhoot]

Has anyone seen numbers that low before.?

[SumToy]

Well get you some junk shells (walmart 8's).  Set up a target at say 50 ft.  Check the POA/POI with choke you want to shoot.  Then move to 40 yards.  I think you may not be seeing the pattern. 

[jrmcclure]

I've shot both the stock. 670 choke and the Primos tightwad in. 660. The Primos puts up higher numbers in the ten " circle, but the stock xxturkey will also shoot a good pattern with hevi-shot and both will hold a pattern well past normal turkey Hunting yardages.

just a little update i now have a box of the hevi shot 3'' magnum blends and a few new targets to shoot ill let yall know when i pattern the new loads

[djenkins32]

hope all goes well I love my 535, its lightweight easy to carry and kicks like a mule hahaha but my 240lbs can take it 

[hs strut]

yeah they kick like a mule im goin to try the .670 factory and my .660 jellyhead

[chatterbox]

yeah they kick like a mule im goin to try the .670 factory and my .660 jellyhead

They do. I hated my 535. Sold it, and bought an 835, and never looked back.

I wouldnt  waste shells with the factory, the jelly head and 3 in magblends should tickle you just fine

Your problem is likely being caused by shooting flight control wads thru a choke with ports.  The flight control wad is meant to be shot thru a non ported or internal choke.  The intent was to get good patterns with standard fixed or internal chokes.  The problem is the ports grab and tear the wings on the flight control wad causing it to fly erratic and disrupt the shot column.  Use your ported choke with standard wad shells or flight control shells with your internal  flush chokes and your results should improve either way.
