Got an 11-87 sporstman 20 gauge yesterday and shot it a little today, had some decent patterns but was not totally pleased so I shot one of my hevi-7 handloads. This is at 40 yards with the twenty, I gotta say I am really excited with this one. I have not polished the barrel yet and might not even worry about it. I shot another one to see if this was a fluke and the second shot put up 218.

Those are incredible patterns, some of the best 20 gauge patterns ive seen. Does anyone have the same combo and is getting numbers like these? Ive been thinking about getting a 20 gauge so i may have just made up my mind on which one ill go with. thanks for the post.... look out turkeys
Nice! I see floppage in your near future!
Are these H-13 #7 loads or Fed HW 37 loads? Out of the IC 555 I am assuming that they are the H-13 #7s.
Please clarify.

RAJ this is handload of hevishot 7's, I shot the hevi 13 7's also and got in the 150's and with HWT was in the 140's
You are going to make me start looking for a 20 now!
What is your recipe for the handloads? And what hulls and wads are you using?

I actually was after 12 g/cc or 15 g/cc and now I am positive that it was the 12 g/cc. Great pattern whatever and definitely all you need .
what is your shot charge in oz.'s ? Any idea velocity?
you almost got an ounce in the 10 ring. Great pattern's ,Wow!
It is almost a duplicate to a nitro straight 7 load. Velocity are about 1150-1175 fps.
Dead bird!
That's laying them in there. Congrats.
That's nasty!
Great patterns. Congrats on a great load.
26" barrel? Did you clean the barrel or just shot it dirty?
Got the same gun with the 26" barrel and have had trouble getting it to shoot. I bought some Nitro straight 7s to run through her. Got a buddy letting me borrow an IC .555. Not expecting to get those numbers but if I get 150 -175 I will be stoked.
20 gauges are really undervalued guns in my opinion....they are extremely
effective
What is the choke and barrel length?
Any hand load data you wanna share?
Very nice pattern!!

Indian Creek .555 out of 26" barrel. My load is 13/8 oz of Hevi 7's going about 1175 FPS
Just for reference I have the same setup except for the 21" barrel but shooting factory Hevi13 #7's not handloads and am getting around 165...

That is a spectactular pattern! What's the load recipe if you don't mind sharing it?
peak98
Nice !
That is very nice. To fool with that combo would be silly. Better aim small at 20!
that is an awesome guy
going to get one for my little boy with some Magnum Blends
