Default RE: 870 Express Super Mag - Choke/Load Combos

"From my experience with # 4's you need a more open choke. With my 870
it came with a .685 factory choke that shoots very well with # 4's. I tried
Winchester #4's and Rem. Nitro #4's 3 1/2 inch 2oz. shot out of my gun
and the Rem. Nitro's patterned better. Hope this helps. "


Thanks alot for answering my question. I thought it was missed.
I checked out the Remington Nitros and i noticed they were a few feet per second slower so I went with speed. Teh Winchester Supremes at Cabelas with shipping were 18.00 .At Walmart they were about 9.50 per 10. The full choke I have is the one that came with the separate set that is available. I beleive it is the .685. I did ask for advice though and plan to pick up a box of Nitros as you suggested. After the hunt Sat. I plan to drive far away from all hunters and pattern my gun. I have a range finder.
Thanks again,
C7
