...I tell you what will fix the problem...HASTING,S PORTED 665...GARANTEE...
BEEN THERE DONE THAT...[:-][:-]

RE: Need help with patterning an 870 Super Mag
 

I use a Hasting's .665 choke and Winchester HV 3 1/2 shell with 2oz. of
#6 shot and it patterns great out to 40 plus yards in my Rem.870
supermag.

Okay, Turkey-dog, here's what works for me out of my 870 w/ 21" barrel
Kick's Gobblin' Thunder choke in .665
3" Winchester High Velocity #5's
This combination works outstanding on the patterning board and more importantly, it works in the field. Thumpin' a gobbler with this load looks like throwing a feather pillow into a fan!!:D;)

RE: Need help with patterning an 870 Super Mag
 

I have an 870 Mag (NOT super mag) 26" barrel and a StarDot choke. I got real good patterns with it using Federal Premium 3" 2oz #5 shot.

Got a Benelli NOVA now and get good patterns with Rem HeviShot #5 and the factory full choke.

RE: Need help with patterning an 870 Super Mag
 

I shot Winchester HV 3" #6 shot with a .660 Kicks GT from my 1187 21" barrel. In my 870 Super Magnum it's a .665 Kicks GT and both throw nice patterns. Just tried the Jelly Head w/Hevi-shot 3" #6 shot but decided to stick with the Winchester. The % is better with the Hevi-shot but I can't over look the pattern the Kicks puts out, FULL COVERAGE
Hevi-shot

Kicks Winchester

RE: Need help with patterning an 870 Super Mag
 

I have a 870 supermag and have found a great combo that is producing really good patterns. I have an H S Undertaker choke and have switched to Hevi-Shot #5 1 7/8 oz. 3 1/2" shells. At 40 yards I am consistently putting 60 pellets in a 7 1/2 inch circle. This choke tube nearly got thrown away last year because I couldn't get it to pattern with any other shell combinations, but luckily I tried it one more time!:)

RE: Need help with patterning an 870 Super Mag
 

I also have a Rem. 870 Super Magnum and was going to purchase a super full turkey choke shooting Federal #5's, 3" shells out of it. Just wandering what ya'll think and if any of you have had any luck with the super full turkey choke.

RE: Need help with patterning an 870 Super Mag
 

Kicks G.T. if you want to shoot lead, but if you want to try Hevi-Shot I get good performance with a Briley turkey tube (hardened for Hevi-Shot). #6 for Hevi-Shot, #5 for lead (Winchester Supreme High Velocity)
