Title: 870SM 26" barrel Hevi 13 3.5" #7 JH .660 Patterns
Post by: Curtdawg88 on March 03, 2012, 05:56:53 PM
Here is the pattern from my Remington 870 supermag 26 inch barrel with JellyHead .660 choke.  I was shooting Hevi 13 3.5inch 2.25oz #7's.  The lot number is 300524.  The range was a taped 40yards.  It was 54 degrees with a slight breeze.  I tried to wait till it was calm to shoot.  I got 243 hits in a 10inch cirlce at 40 yards.  I was not as impressed as I was hoping to be.  I have gotten 223 with #6s in the past.  Please excuse my rough cirlce.  I also confirmed that my POI and POA are off.  I usually aim at the base of the turkey's neck.  I'm not terribly concerned with high numbers as long as it will kill a turkey and this will definitely kill a turkey!  :newmascot:

 :icon_thumright: That will definitely kill them. I'd use the 6's tho if there putting 223 in a 10.

That right there will kill them, no doubt! Crazy, I can remember putting up 230s with #6s and that exact setup, back 3-4 yrs ago.

Yeah it's been at least 2 years since I've put up on those numbers with the 6s. I wish the quality was still there.
