I use a Wrights Swarm Tube. I have used several others with great success on the pattern boards. I shoot out to 50yds in my tests from sandbags and scoped if possible.
I have found that tubes in the .655 to be the tightest that I would shoot with 5's or 6's. I kinda lean towards the .660 or .665. I just find that they produce the most consistent patterns time after time with 5's or 6's. I have not shot the duplex loads, 7-1/2's or 4's that much unless the customer really wants it. They buy the shells and I give them the results and let them figure out where to go next. I just like how the 5's and 6's pattern for me and my set-up. I will back up my stack with a 3-1/2" Hevi-Shot load of 4's for JIC shot if needed or a 'yote looks like he may get too close for his comfort.

And RPD63, I got my Winchester Rooster's at Gander Mtn. I just bought the last 6bxs of them last week. They are closing their doors by me and have stuff 15% off to clear out. I bought a bunch of other ammo as well.
