Sumtoy and 3.5" Mag Blends

[JUGHEAD]

Alright gents...I've decided that I really want to explore getting the best patterns I can from the 3.5" Mag blends as I would really like to hunt with them next season for many reasons (used the 3" with great success this year in a Mossy 500, like the extra velocity, like the 5's and 6's mixed in, price relative to Nitros, etc.).  After reading everything here about Sumtoy, their customer service, etc., I decided to contact them and William came up with a suggestion for my 935 accordingly and he was right in line with what I was thinking after reading MOUNDS of data on this website.  He has also offered to change it up after the fact if we don't get what we're hoping for.....that is CRAZY customer service right there! 

While he's working on the choke, I'm gonna get my 24" barrel polished up and ready for some near future testing that I will certainly be sharing here accordingly.  Man, I'm hoping this works out!

I am also working with William from SumToy on a few of his chokes for my Remington 11-87 with a 21" barrel....I also will be shooting Hevi-shot.I have a SumToy .650 & .660 on the way and whichever works better I keep and send the other back.Now that's customer service.With customer service like that I'm definately on the SumToy bandwagon and will be posting a few pattern pics as soon as they arrive and I get to the range.

Thanks again William for outstanding customer service!

Sincerely,
Kdog

I just tried the Hevi Shot 3" Mag Blends with a Sumtoy .660 out of my Rem 11-87 with a 21" Brl and averaged 168 hits in a 10"circle at 40 yds.I havent seen much info on patterns with the Mag Blends but heres one i took a pic of.

Cool and thanks for sharing!  That's pretty strong for a 21" barrel I think?  I averaged in the 170's earlier this year with the 3" Mag blends out of a dirty barreled Mossberg 500, 24" barrel, with Mossberg XXfull .670 choke. 

My 24" barreled 935 is at my gunsmith as we speak getting a thorough cleaning, trigger job, and a Limbsaver recoil pad.  I've got several boxes of 3.5" Mag blends and 3 different chokes ready to rock and roll as soon as I get it back and get the barrel polished.  You guys will be the first to know the results when I finally get some powder burned.
