LBXR #5, 870 - 26", .660 - .667 - .675
« on: April 11, 2017, 08:58:49 AM »
Rem 870 SM, 26"
LBXR, 3 1/2", 2 1/8oz, #5
40 yds

I've been shooting in the 140's and 150's using a tightwad .660 and suspecting the constriction is a bit tight for the LB 5's out of my 26" barrel.
I got two chokes (from forum member Philippe) to try out. I fired three shots through each choke without cleaning the chokes before hand. I did run a dry patch between each shot.
Shots listed in chronological  order.

A. Rem Super Full Hevi•Shot .675
1. 133
2. 156
3. 196

B. Truglo Bone Collector .667
4. 208
5. 191
6. 192

To be fair I'll have to pick up some more shells and fire them through the .675 Rem choke to get a more complete assessment.
