Title: SX3 20 Guage Choke??
Post by: TomRC on January 17, 2018, 02:35:10 PM

Going to be turkey hunting this year with a 20 gauge SX3. Can someone please give me a specific choke and ammo combination for this gun. Last year I tagged out on turkeys using a 12 Gauge SX3 shooting Longbeard XR ammo with a Trulock XR choke but I know using a 20 gauge is a different ballgame. I liked the 12 gauge SX3 so much I just had to pick up the 20 gauge :):):)

I'm guessing Hevi-Shot #7 but clueless as to a good choke. Not sure if the Longbeard XR ammo is as good in 20 gauge as it is in a 12 gauge?? Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

562 should fix you up.

562-5 for the Federal or the Hot 10 inch stuff from nitro or apex. The 3 will open up some

I shoot .555 PureGold my highest count was 232. Nitro striaght #7 hevi shot

I didn't count, but apex was 300s easy. #9 same choke.

TruLock #7 choke did 150s with fed #7s heavy weight. It's a .562
