Guys, unless I missed it, I didn't see where anyone had patterned an 870 (any barrel length) with 3 1/2" Hevi-13 #7's. I see that a Pure Gold .670 performs really well with 7's, but I already have a .670 Rhino and really don't want to buy another choke if I don't have too. I would think it would be pretty close, but according to my wife, I'm wrong quite a bit, sooooooo..... ;D
Thanks
I C 665 in mine.
gonna either shoot a .675 IC, .665 JH or a .643tgssx outta the 870 with 3-2-7's this year
Longspur, for the price and being that it is a remington, if you are going to shoot the hevi-13 3.5/2.25/7 load, get the .660 jellyhead. It is hard to beat in a remington. My 11-87 with that load and the .660 JH shoots in the 320's in a 10" at 40 yards.
With those shells it does not matter what choke you use they will all shoot great. Someone here was using a primos tight wad and that's what a $20 choke and they got great patterns. I'm sure your rhino will throw good patterns.
Thanks ALOT fellas. :icon_thumright: I'm just trying something out here. Still got 6- Nitro H51013A's left from last year and was kind of hoping Wing Supply would have had them on their website by now but they don't. I ordered the Hevi-13's (#7's) :you_rock: just so I wouldn't be "short" come opening morning here in Louisiana.
To be honest, my 870 got some of the best patterns anyone could ask for (306 @ 40)with the Nitro/I.C. combo, but I'm having a hard time justifying $65(not to mention shipping) on a box of 10 shells that might be available or might not. I think I'll be ok with the chokes. I've got an I.C. 665, a Rhino 670, and a Jellyhead 660 so one of them is bound to throw some good patterns with them hot #7's.
