best 20 gauge pb loads

[Fastcat]

Thats good to know.  As far as a reasonably priced choke for a 20gauge I think they are excellent if anyone runs across one.  I'm happy with mine!

Correction!  I patterned my 20 yesterday and I'm using Winchester XX not HV's.  I was confused because they say SUPREME on the shell and Double X on the box. They are 1 and a quarter oz and they pattern very well!

What shot size, #4 or #5?

[Fastcat]

Double X Supreme #5s. Wal-mart has them for under 8 bucks!

That is one load I have not patterned; I will have to try some!

Shooting winchester xx magnums in my sumtoy .562 wad controlling choke.

Bought some of the Winchester Supreme XX #5's (X203XCT5) from Mal-Wart myself. At less than $0.80 per shell, I couldn't resist buying a box. Can't wait to pattern them!

It all depends on your pattern and comfort further out. I have killed a couple at 50 with my 20 and Remington 5's, but no more. I will not shoot past 35 anymore because under field conditions I cannot judge to the .001 yard how far he actually is and as pumped and out of breath as I get about a gobbler, I can't keep it all together everytime past 35 with the 20.

Hastings chokes are still being made and are avaliable by the original manufacturer. They have a website, but if you don't see what you are looking for on there, give them a call and they should be able to get you fixed up.

Switched to a hevi choke .573 in my beretta 390 and the patterns are killer inside 40 yds with Win XX 5's. Big difference from my Pure Gold .570
