Some awesome patterns!
I tried to pattern some tonight in a new 870. Couldn't break a 100 at 40. Tried Tightwad, SSX & an old Hevi approved super full.

Ssx was my best choke for the Remington till I got the trulocks.

It's been the worst one for me. I put a micrometer on my chokes SSX has the largest exit diameter.
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

Great patterns, Del, I know what your shooting and I know for a fact it's deadly!! Joe Young, what kind and size choke were you shooting?

I have 4 boxes(#6 heavyweights)gonna send them thru a sumtoy.562
Looking to pick up a couple of other tubes also to test. I see the .570 patterns nice. Anyone Shoot them through Carlsons .575?

570 shoots 6s best in both of my weatherby set ups.

What is your setup?
Yes Bink.  It was the federal heavyweight 6, 1.5 ounce load.  Remmy 870 compact and a Carlson's .570 non-ported. 
Big Al's "Take-em" Style Silhouette decoys Pro-Staff.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind te most.

WOW!!!!  Thats THE strongest pattern out of ANY of the HW I've ever seen!!! Have you tried the 7s ? If so, I'd love to see that pattern.
