New to the sight and I was hoping for for any suggestions and please let me know what you think. I patterned my Remington 870 tactical with a jeb's choke .660. I did polish the barrel and the results were with Winchester xtended range 3" 5 shot I had 105 pellets and with hevishot magnum blend 3" I had 135. It was 42 degrees when I did this. Is this good/bad and how can I improve. Thanks

those numbers seem a little low from what i have seen on here , look at the pattern forum and compare your numbers with others, good luck and welcome

Dont get caught up in all the numbers. 135 isnt all that bad. As long as your pattern is even, did you have any big gaps in the pattern? Was that the most dense part of your pattern? Where you shooting at BIG paper? That way you can see where most of your shot is going. Try hevi 3" 6's

Yes I did shoot at a large piece of paper stapled to a piece of plywood and yes my pattern was very even. I want to shoot it when it's about 70 degrees and see how much difference it makes
