What causes holes in your pattern? I shot my new 20 today and nearly all of the chokes had some pretty good holes in them.
All shots fired from a lasered 40 yds shooting from a bench.
Thanks!!
What ammo and chokes ?

Sorry...Fed HW 7's out of a 26" 1187
Truglo SSX
Carlson 570
Primos Tightwad
Pure Gold Tempest 770
Believe it or not the tightwad was the best pattern of the bunch....not great but the best of this lot. Kind of surprised me. I am thinking about going to Sumtoy and seeing what he can do for me....
Usually it's a sign of over choking.

That, or you REALLY need to clean your barrel, and chokes!! Have you at least deep cleaned and/or polished the pipe on that gun? A dirty barrel can cause poor patterning as easilly as over choking in some guns...
Try something in the 555 to 562 range ,my 870 20 loves the PG or IC 555.
How big are the holes? Some holes are normal, just due to statistics.

Thanks again!!
