Title: anyone with pics of patters of Rem 870 28" barrel?
Post by: Tom.Tommerson on February 29, 2012, 04:28:11 PM
I've got a Remington 870 Express with 28" barrel.  all it will shoot is 3" shells.  Going out and buying a ton of chokes and boxes of shells to try all different combos is rediculiously expensive.

Does anyone have an pictures of set ups they like from a 28" Rem 870 i can see so that i can compare without costing me a fortune doing it all myself?  any posts will be greatly appriciated!!!

Im going to deep clean the barrel and maybe polish it as well, im also particularly intersted in the Jelly head at .665 becuase ive seen a lot of good posts about them on here.

Here's the backside of that Ventilator pattern above.  I think the .655 is just a little tight for you can see the holes in the 20".  But for $24 shipped to my door it's  steal.

Oh, and there is 282 shot in that 10" circle.

I'll be trying the 3.5" Hevi 13 #7s this weekend out of a 870SM 26" barrel with a Jellyhead .660  I'll post pics of my patterns this weekend or early next week.
