I recently bought a remmington 870 and was wondering what chokes you guys use (for this gun, or any other gun) and what loads you use to get your best patterns.
Thank you,
PH

I have gotten very good results with either an Indian Creek .660 or Pure Gold .665 shooting Hevi-13 3" 2oz #6's. I have not had a chance yet to shoot the Hevi-13 #7's.....I have seen some others with good patterns using them though.

For the 870's, I find the Jellyhead .660 works well. Every gun can be different, but I've yet to see a bad combination come out of this set-up. Nitros, in either 4X5X7 or straight 7's.

Hevishot magnum blend 5.6.7 Compn Choke .655. Incredible.

Kicks .665 choke and Winchester supreme elite 3.5" shells...It puts out an awesome pattern. I've been hunting this setup for a while now it works. Good Luck.
I shoot a New England pump with a 22 inch barrel, based on an 870 and I have found that a hastings .640 with winchester #5's works best for me . I now have a 60 yard gun.

I have used the HS Strut Undertaker xtrafull on three different guns, with 3" wwsupreme buffered #6 loads. One was no head at 15yds,beak and pcs of skin, one was a mushy mess at 30 yds, one at 53yds was just plain dead. On the Redhead turkey target at 50 yds, I get 13-20 kill pellets , not feather cutters (that would bring it up to 30-43).
