Hevi-shot mag blends in a 21” 870

[Browning4140]

Anyone have any experience shooting mag-blends in a 870 with a 21" barrel and if so what choke are you using.

Not blends but the hevi shot #7 with an IC .555 we're throwing killer patterns for me last week

They shoot almost as good as the straight 6s in mine.

I'm interested in this also, Or what your using for choke's and H-13 loads?  I need an alternative load when my supply of Fed. HW #7's run out.

My wife shoots 870 21" 3" magblends with rhino .660 and average 220-250 in 10" circle.

I run Hevi 6's when not using TSS in my 21" 870 20 gauge with a Sumtoy 562.

I average a little over 120 at 40.

Solid killer.

I'm shooting 21 inch with Federal HW 7 with Trulock 565 and it's a turkey killing machine...

My bad, I forgot I was in the 20ga section

I tested the Mag Blends with this gun using a Primos Jellyhead and got 115+/- in a 10" circle at 40 yds.  For comparison I was getting 130+/- with Fed. Heavyweight #7s.  I'm hunting the HW7s, but when I run out, I'll probably shoot the mag blends with no hesitation.  Then when those run out in about 2025, I'll switch to TSS......

I have a 11-87 21" that throws a solid 100 in 10" @ 40 with an old Remington Hevi shot choke.
