Thanks,   there on sale on the kicks web site but I could not find where anyone used one so I kinda figured they didn't pattern that good.

I believe that they were first fitted for Winchester #5 copper-plated lead .

I have been using a Kicks 560 in a Rem. youth 870 with 21" barrel for 6 years now.  It has worked really good for me.  Nice even patterns out of most everything I have put through it except Federal flight control wad load.

All numbers are at 40 yards 10" circle

Heavy 13 # 7  156
Heavy Duck 7.5  158
TSS #9  332

Not sure on the numbers but it shoots Winchester # 5's pretty good too. Will kill them no problem at 35-40 yards.
There are better chokes out today, but it is still a good choke and has worked well for me.
