I' m pretty sure a buddy of mine is gonna loan me one this weekend, I' ll let ya know how it does sat. or sun.. I' m gonna try rem. 4x6 duplexes and #5 1 7/8 oz. fed' s. And maybe a few more if I can. I don' t know offhand what load his gun likes, he doesn' t use it anymore, he switched to hevi-shot. Mikey

I too have a Remington 870 Express 12GA (but mines a lefty version). I don' t have a Ventilator choke, but a cheap $19.95 Wally World Star Dot X-Full choke. My 870 likes the Winchester Supreme 3" High Velocity 1-3/4oz. #5 shot. It patterned really great.

Mine shoots about anything pretty decent except it won' t shoot #4 shot very well in any load. I like the Nitros the best then Winchester Supreme and then Federal Premiums. The Nitros out do anything I have ever shot, I know they are a little high but I feel its some of the best money I have ever spent on turkey hunting.

My 870 with the Ventilator choke like Winchester 3" XX turkey loads 2oz of #5 shot...

My setup (Ventilator + 870) does not like #4' s as well either. I was averaging just under 5 hits in the vitals at 40 yards with the 3 major brands.

The gun patterns best with Remington 3" #5' s (2 ounce).
