HELP New setup
 
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.

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.

Kicks Gobblin Thunder 660 and Federal # 5's get the job done.

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). :guiness:
