Default RE: Cant decide on ammo

ORIGINAL: Matt / PA

Even out of a butt cruddy bore my 870 Supermag was putting 190 Hevi 13 #6's in a 10" circle at 40.

I checked the bore and it was actually pretty rough so I did a thorough extended polish on the bore and forcing cone and it looks like a mirror now.
I expect after that treatment the same 2.25oz #6 load should give me well over 200 in that same 10" circle since it was basically doing that dirty and rough to start.

Don't overlook a thorough cleaning followed by polishing that bore, especially the forcing cone area.......it could make a significant difference in the patter density of your combo.

Thats awesome! So...if i go to any sporting goods store and buy Hevi 13's, 3.5" 2 1/4oz #6's, will i be buying the right one? I mean, are Hevi13's all the same? I dont want to buy the wrong "color".
