A friend of mine shoots an IC .560 with nitro straight #7's in his. His has the 26" barrel.

Quite surprisingly to me, I tried a Hastings 585 in my Brng inv+ 28" bbl the other day and it shoots the Fed FC lead and HWs very well.

The 585 is equal to 575 in rem/ win invector choke constriction.

Use the Hevi13 or Magnum Blend shells.  They are denser than lead and
give you so much more down range energy.  You will need that will
a lighter gauge gun.

A pellet of equal size made from the same material and shot at the same velocity will be the same whether shot from a 410 or 10 gauge.
A 20 gauge doesn't shoot lighter than a 12 given the same velocity.Recoil may be different however.

works for me too. 170 in the circle at 40 yards.  I have the 26" barrel.  Pic in the 20 gauge pattern pic forum.  HW 7's. Choke costs $22 on EBay.
