Title: truglo ssx and hevi 13 - 7's
Post by: longhorn on February 22, 2011, 10:54:02 AM
Any numbers for ssx in mossy 835? I would like to see how they compare with indian creek.

I have both chokes for my 535, but I'm waiting for warmer temps before I do any pattern testing.    It's 18 degrees here, so it looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer.

I will post the results once the patterning is done.

That's what I'm waiting on.  I like testing when 60 degrees gets here.  It was 60 yesterday but raining.  It's a lot colder today.  Last wek it was nice a couple of days but 30mph winds.  Forget that.

I'm waiting for the temps to get into the 50's-60's.    That way I can make a fair comparison with my current load/ choke numbers.      I'm also trying to evaluate whether or not a deep clean/ polish job on my 535 will help improve pattern numbers from last year.

I have some Hevi 3-2-7 loads that I'm going to test with my .643" SSX and .660" IC BDS choke.

Great numbers.  Guess I'll have to order the ssx and some more 7's. If I keep this up I'll have to borrow money to hunt.

I would love to see some patterns with the SSX 670 and the 7s.. I have had good luck with it in winchoke and it appears they have the constriction about right for the 7s in the Mossy

Hey Archery1 if I got 210 at 40 with wenchester #5s I would stay with it. Sure would like to see some patterns.

Ok you twisted my arm.   :z-guntootsmiley:

And that was shot on a 45 degree day.

And here is the other one.  I only shot 2 shots out of this choke so far.  Not bad for the temp.

Tom, that choke actually out shot the Indian Creek and the Star Dot choke that day.  That choke should hum once it gets 60 degrees.  But I will test it again and see for sure.  But it definately shot better in the colder weather.
