PATTERNED JELLY HEAD TODAY!!!!!
 
well we got nice weather today so i went out to the reange to pattern my shotgun with the new jellyhead choke. here are the results.

Using win 3 1/2 hv 2 oz shells/

10 yrds #5 shot blew head in half.
10 yrds #6 shot same results.

27 yrds #5 shot 15 pellets in head and neck region.
27 yrds #6 shot 43 " " " " "

these are the only yardages i could shoot today cause that is what target backboards we have set up there, i will try more yardages tommorrow. As you can see the jellyhead choke is not that impressive with lead shot. so i came home and bought more turkey targets, and a box of rem hevi-shot, cause primos says that they designed the choke for hevi-shot using #6 shot i will try that tommorrow and i will post results.
Then i got out my hs undertaker choke tube to ree the difference with the same shells. here are the results.

10 yrds#5 shot blew head in half on target.
10 yrds#6 shot " " " " " "

27 yrds #5 shot 52 pellets in head and neck region.
27 yrds #6 shot 33 " " " " " "

so then i tried 50 yrds just to see what it would do with the undertaker, cause at this pioint i was not real impressed with the jellyhead choke. here are the results.

50 yrds #5 shot 16 pellets in head and neck region.
50 yrds #6 shot 18 pellets " " " " "

so you can see the real winner here with lead shot would be the hs undertaker choke, but as i said i am going to try the hevi-shot tommorrow with the jellyhead and will post results.
these are with using a mossberg 835 ulti-mag.
PS do you guys think that i should clean my gun before i shoot the hevi-shot tommorrow or wait until i am all done? thank you and god bless.

I'd wait until I was done shooting. I couldn't take it, so I went and ordered the Jelly Head choke a few days ago! Today I went to my buddies shop and bought a box of Rem Hevi-shot #6. I should be shooting it by Monday or Tuesday. Can wait to see how you made out with the Hevi-Shot. What gun are you shooting?

I just bought TruGlo's strut stopper choke tube and put it in my gun. I am going to pattern it with Hevishot sometime next week. I'll let you know how it patterns.

Guys, I hate to say it...but in my opinionm your wasting your time. I have basically tried them all. Without a doubt the best choke/pattern combo pattern is the Rhino choke and Nitro ammunition Hevi shot load (NOT Remington Nitro) combination. I know of at least 5 people, (including myself) who use this combination with incredible results. I get over 240 pellets inside a 10" circle t 40 yards which is comparable to the others......it is an awesome set up

tomahog it might be good in your gun but not in others. As you, I have been in the business for several years and have tried every tube coming and going and by far the best I have shot in my beretta a390 is the kicks .655 with winchester 3" #5 HV's at 50 yards I can put 68 pellets in the head and neck and got the targets to prove it. With the .660 hastings comp-n-choke I can put 46 pellets in the head and neck with the same load. I do know that the Kicks tubes shoot better than most in benelli and berettas. But like you said, this is just an opinion. Good luck hunting and be safe.
