My first time with hevi shot
Hevi-13 2oz #6 3 inch
Remington 870sm, REM HD turkey/predator choke 21 inch barrel
First time tryin this choke too.
177 in 10 inch circle.
Good even patterning the 10" how many pellets were there in the 10
I forgot I cropped the pic, I had it written on there, 177 in 10 in circle.
I know one thing, I'm never using lead for turkeys again.
Thow a Jellyhead choke in that 870, should get you over 200 hits in the 10"
Nice pattern
Looks like you got it. 177 is a great number from a 3" shell. Don't change a thing. Shoot a couple of more for consistency. Looks like if you aim at the waddles you'll smoke him every time.

I got 6+ boxes of the Hevi 3-2-6's to try out in my 870 and two otehr 870's along with a few Mag Blends and straight 7's
have 2 sumtoy chokes, a jellyhead, and a Remington HD to try on saturday. my goal is 200 but anything from 170-220 and I will have FULL confidence
I never would have thought that remington HD choke would have performed like it did. I think its .680 constriction, pretty open.
that rem choke in my 870 sps... really surprised me also i had almost 230 hits with 3 inch mag blends at 40 yards. mine is a 670
Yeah, just saved some $, no need to buy any other choke. Now I can blow more money on shells.

Tauntohawk, if you can post your results using the Hevi Shot, 3" ,#6 with the Jellyhead choke, out of your 870. My son-in-law is thinking of trying the same combo with his gun.
Thanks, Mike
