Rem SM, 23" barrel, Ventilator .665, TT 3"x6's :blob10:
40 yds, 10" circle :blob10:
:lol: :blob10:
My bad: .655 Ventilator.

Can anyone confirm?

have you tried any other loads? any heavier than lead? just curious, with a .655 choke I would think you'd be able to get some more density...good luck hunting!!
