Tried Hevy.  Then tried Carlsons.  Stopped right there.  Shooting HW 7s.

I have not. Waiting until mid march when we get some decent days. Would like to get a day in 50's with calm winds.

I will be running a carlson 575 and hevi #7 and federal #7. Everyone on here says the carlson is the way to go. I hope so as I caught it on sale for $20.

Patterned my Affinity 20 gauge Bottomland w/26" barrel today with both the Carlson's extended .575 and the Trulock Federal Hvywght 7 .565 extended chokes shooting Federal Heavyweight 3" 1 1/2 ounce #7's.    Temperature was 65 degrees with clear skies and light winds.  The Trulock had a 3 shot average of 155 in the 10" @ 40 yards while the Carlson's had a 3 shot average of 130.  Shells were Lot # 5U-10QM326.  I'll be using the Trulock choke.
