Today was fun...about 70 degrees and calm...40 yards off a decent rest, I didn't really bear down on sights just tried to make a good squeeze so that's why POI may seem a little off. I cleaned barrel with powder blast, 2 runs with squeegee attachment and tico swab before shooting and again after each shot. Attached is the MagBlend pattern from 4-6 as well as the Straight 6's and Straight 7's from today 4-7. Interestingly I was going to shoot another MagBlend today as well but when I pulled one out of the box I found it to be a 3 1/2in Hevi Metal #3 instead...all the other shells were fine. EnvironMetal is going to be getting a phone call about that one, doubt it would have damaged my gun but holy crap that's a big difference in shells. Anyway the 3.5" 2 1/4 oz Hevi 6's rolled me a 216 in 10" and the 2 1/4 oz 7's dropped a 260...pretty dang happy and ready to go put some hooks in the dirt...good luck to everyone on opening day!!!
Nice patterns!
looked at the #7 again, if I shifted the 10" circle about 1 1/2" to the right I'd lose 9 on the left and gain 22 on the right so a 270 plus...irrellevant, either way a nice swarm. I've got too many of the #6's not to shoot em up at some birds but next time I buy I think the 7's will be my choice. 6 days....let the countdown begin
I TO SHOOT ONE OF ,ACTUALLY TWO OF ROBS CHOKES A .650 & .655 ...HAVE U TRIED ANY TIGHTER FOR YOUR HEVI-13 #7 SHOT? I SHOT HIS .650 & #7 OUT OF MY SBE II AND GOT 336 IN 10", HES PRETTY GOOD ABOUT SENDING DIFFERENT CHOKES...JUST THOUGHT ID SHARE IT.GOOD LUCK
Thank you...I have talked to him before when I first switched from Indian Creek, he recommended I try the .660. I'm quite content with this set up, personal opinion that something shooting 300 plus would be too tight for my liking, at least at this point I still have an 8 inch pattern at 20 yards so I have some leeway on close shots. As one of my other buddies on here likes to say, how dead is dead enough?? :you_rock:
I have two of Robs chokes in my turkey guns. First is an 870 that he did in 89 or 90...it has killed a pile of turkey! last year I had him do a trigger job and choke my M1....Very happy with the work,,just took forever,,,,BUT would use him agian,,
Good even patterns,thats a real nice combo of gun and choke for sure! :OGturkeyhead:

Those are super patterns and the Hevi13's are hard hitting for sure
