Title: Remington 870 21" and Jeb's .555
Post by: The Baron on May 04, 2024, 06:50:33 AM
I picked up a Jeb's Headhunter .555 locally and gave it a try in our little 870 turkey getter (21").  I tried some Hornady Heavy Magnum 3" 5's - results were unimpressive.  Then I tried Federal Prairie Storm 3" 6's, with good results - sufficient at 35 yards and not ridiculously tight at 15.  That's plenty of range for our hunting up here, so I'll carry this combo to fill my second tag.

I would probably search for a little better pattern.
