Title: Choke for Heavyweight #6 and #7
Post by: Rem Man on April 17, 2013, 01:13:32 PM
    Hi guys I was wondering what choke has been working for these loads. I have a 20 gauge Rem Youth. Is there a difference of the 6 and 7 the way they shoot, besides pellet count? THANKS!!!!

I like the SumToy 562 in my 21" Remmy! The 6's run around 120 and the 7's run around 160+.

Also may want to try the SSX.

just was in the same boat here a coupla weeks ago

I love the truglo SSX, but also got decent patterns with the tightwad and jelly head.

How old is your gun Daman?  My 21" Rem 870 is about 20 years old.   Heard somewhere that the older ones like the 562 and the newer made barrels like the 570?  Just wondering? 

And to the original poster...  I went with Sumtoy, like many others here based on my conversations with him and the impressive patterns and his good reputation.

It is around 15 years old. I don't know for sure when I got it, but I killed its first turkey when I was 10 and I am 24 now.
