Title: Mossberg 835, SSX .670, and Win XRHD 3.5-2-6's

First off, I am going to say these numbers are not huge, and with the weather today, I didn't expect them to be. It was cloudy, and the temps were hovering around 36 or so. I know not ideal, but I just re-mounted my FFIII on a 336 base, and needed to dial her in, and with the craziness of my upcoming schedule, I just wanted my gun to be on.
Here is the 30 yard shot. 212 in the 10 ring. Notice the eveness of the pattern. Looking at this more and more based on conversations I have had with Clark.

Now, here is the 40 yard pattern. 112 in the 10 at 40. Again, pellet numbers are not huge, but an ample killing pattern.

So my thoughts after this are that the SSX is an excellent choke. I attest lower than avg. numbers due to the conditions, and have no doubt on a warmer, sunnier day, this combo will put up some fantastic numbers, but I would take this combo into the turkey woods tommorow if hunting season was open.
