20 ga Magnum Blend in Rem .870 youth

[chestnut oak]

Wondering if anyone has experience with the Mag Blends in a Remington 870 youth model 21" barrel & if so, what choke tube is best for this round ?

[chestnut oak]

Anyone ?

I used them in a TruLock .560 #7 choke wasn't impressive but was over 100 and barely a 40yd gun. But it would hunt 100/120 range in the 10in.

I've been using the Federal #7 out of it but I'm almost out of them & can't find the TSS anywhere...
I'll probably just get a Hastings .575 & go with Hevi Shot #7's

Mine has an old Remington Hevi choke and is around 100 in 10" at 40yrd

Buddy says he used a truglo ssx and an IC .555 and got around 200. His gun shoots about everything abnormally high though.

Is that with the Max Blends ?

Yes, that is what he said.

Don't overlook the H13 6's.  I love 7's but my 20 gauge didn't care for them no matter what choke.  I was getting 130's with the 7's and mid 120's with the 6's.  When I run out of HW 7's and since TSS 9's are unobtanium I'll fall back on the 6's. 


I shoot a .570 TightWad and a .570 Colonial Arms

My long beard #6's finally arrived yesterday.I am taking my 870 youth to test with them saturday and plan on putting one mag blend shell through my gun at 40 yards with a .575 non ported carlson.I know the gun patterns with any lead shell out to 30-35 yards.I am wanting it to pattern out to 40-45 yards with the long beards and mag blends.I will let you know what I think,I do not count holes or take pictures of my patterning though.

I highly doubt you'll get 45 yards out of those longbeards in that choke. Just shot them yesterday through the Carlson's. 575, the original .570 Jellyhead, tightwad and .570 pure gold.  35 yards was the max I got with all 4 in my 870 youth.  if you get 40 I'd run em, but I'm going to a .555 or .560 ish choke for anything other than heavyweights.
