Is this good?

[talltines]

Patterned my gun today.  Shooting an 835 with 20 inch barrel with Hevi 7 3 1/2 inch and got 207 shot in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards.  (deep cleaned and polished my bore and swabed between shots).

What do you think? 

[doepee]

What choke and E.D. ?

[talltines]

Indian Creek 675

[bowhunter84]

no question it will kill a turkey

[VAHUNTER]

207 Will get it done. but i would think you would get higher #'s with that load. are you sure that you picked the dences part of the pattern to draw your circle around??
i got 270 with the same load and a .670PG

[spur collector]

numbers seem kinda of low for that load, but over 200 will get the job done everytine as long as there is no holes in the pattern.

[doepee]

It will hunt no problem, but I also thought the numbers sounded a little low for that choke and gun.

[Hardtime_NC]

Not to make you mad, but just fyi I would  think you could get a lot better.  We are getting fairly close to those numbers out of some 20 gauges.

[hookedspur]

you might want to try a choke thats a little tighter it you want ,but if you are satisfied with it go hunting it WILL get the job done 

[talltines]

Yeah I thought it may be a little low to.  I wonder if my short barrel could be the reason?  Anyone shoot a 20 inch barrel?

[VAHUNTER]

i have seen some fantastic #'s from the 20" and even 18" barrels.
you may need to play with it a little to find the choke that it likes. the .670 seems to be the choke of choice in almost all 835's

[Gobble!]

Give indan creek a call and see if they will help you out.

[archery1]

that will kill for sure.

[talltines]

Does Indian Creek make a 670 constriction for an 835?

[doepee]

With that short of a barrel you might try a .665 E.D. just for the heck of it.!
