Choke tubes for Longbeards in a 870 ?

[strutnva]

I have been using Hevi-13 thru a Jelly head .660.  Looking to test some LB's in #5 and #6, what tubes have you had good results with for an 870?  $30 for a box of 5 is really starting to make me think when we killed them for years with lead before Hevi-13.

The "Turkey Choke Evaluation Project" should be completed very soon. You'll be able to see what chokes worked best with Rem-Choke barrels and WLB shells in both pellet count and pattern quality. Hopefully, it will be of help to you.

I use Briley straight rifled chokes in .665 and have had great results.

Something around 650.

i recently shot the Carlson Lb it is .660 with the Lb# 5 and was very pleased with it. The day I shot was not the best weather conditions but here is a pic of my 40 yd target

I shoot a ventilator choke and get 180-190 with #6's LB's, 3" gun

My personal preference is Sumtoy chokes.  I use the .650 with lb #6's and love the patterns!!!

Should the Jellyhead in a .660 perform well or will it be a bust?

It can't hurt to try the choke you already own.  Longbeards aren't very expensive so if I were you I would throw a few down range and see what you get.  Best of luck!!!

My jellyhead 665 gets more pellets in the 10 than my sumtoy .660 but the sumtoy throws a more even pattern so I hunt with the sumtoy. Both LBs and hevi shot same poi

Thanks guys

For the price you can't beat a JellyHead. I'm sure you will be pretty happy with that pattern.

I would be shocked if the Jellyhead 660 did not do well in your 870.

I have heard so much good stuff about jellyhead .660 with 870's that I went ahead a bought one. I will have pattern pictures soon with 3" #6's long beards xr with 870 jelly head combo.

I was able to get 267 hits in a 10" circle at 40 yards with my 870 shooting 3 1/2" Longbeards #6's with a Kicks GT (.665)
