I've got 6 boxes and they have all ran 120-145 through my .570 Tightwad and .550 SSX with very even patterns out to a 20" circle.

Man I don't know what I'm going wrong I shot a few today and the best numbers I got was 115. I tried three different chokes and IC, hs strut undertaker and a tru glo. All shot from a 21" in 870. Any suggestions?

They stunk out of my gun.  Was using a Nova with a .575 carlsons and a Sumtoy .562-5.  William at Sumtoy is sending me a another sumtoy in .570.  He said these seemed to be loaded a bit faster and therefore like less choke.  He also told me automatics seem to shoot them better then pumps because they bleed of some of the gas the velocity is a tad less.  Time will tell.

Just like i tell anyone shooting a 20ga 870 and federal heavyweights, the remington superfull .570 or .572 chokes, you may be pleasently surprised.

My 870 didn't like those chokes at all.

Just shot my sons winchester ranger 120 this morning with an undertaker.572; posted 168. Pleasantly surprised with that coming out a 22" barrel. Paid $13 on clearance for that choke lol

Im shooting this lot too.  I'm shooting it out of a Franchi Affinity 20 with a pure gold tempest 570.  The pattern was pretty impressive up to about 30 yards, but anything further than that it really broke apart.

I contacted Bill @ Pure Gold and he is going to be sending me the tighter (555 tempest) to try out.  Hopefully that is the ticket, as they're not cheap to pattern.
