Thanks I was gonna change poi bc I tend to be anal about it hitting exactly where im aiming but then I thought about it, if I aim at waddles with the way it is now, smoke head lol so its good to go and in the gun cabinent lol

I always set mine to shoot a little high and aim at the waddles or base of the neck. That way some pellets catch the head, neck, and top of the breast.

No I havent tried that one. I have a primos tightwad on the way and that will be my last choke for this year but before next season I am either gonna get the hevi 13 choke, indian creek or the pure gold

Looks good.  I see you got some better numbers on the second shot.  Mine has been doing the same thing. 

I got 221 then 225 the other day out my pure gold with a 26" barrel. 

I figured that was sufficient enough. 

Awesome patterns....go get them!

Both are great and better than I got out of a JH .660 with the magblends in my 870 SM!

I am seriously considering an SSX as another choke to add to my collection

Great patterns! I wish 7s were legal here, I would have tried those blends a long time ago.
