Title: Winchester SXP
Post by: Cowboy on March 11, 2023, 05:09:02 PM
Have some issues with pattern on my winchester sxp 26 inch 12 gauge. Carlstons Heavyweight TSS .650. I've been shooting the new Remington TSS #9. I'm not impressed. Do you all think the .650 is too tight? Anyone having any suggestions or imput? At 30 yards seems OK but 40 seems inconsistent.

I'm going with Rogue ammunition this year. Solid even pattern.

My Winchester SXP black shadow 12ga paired extremely well with the Carlson's long beard XR choke and long beard XR #5. Had reliable groupings out to 50yds.

Those guns are back bored and like a more open choke,we ended up going with a .575 in my sons 20 GA shooting long beard #5 and it is very impressive out to 50 yards.Also shooting non ported choke tube that folks recommend on this site.

Can attest to this...exact same setup my buddy shoots and it's lights out!
OP I would try a different choke and ammo and see if it improves
