Got lucky and finally found one on the cheap :toothy9: I know alot of people like it for fed. hw #7's and I will be testing those for sure but looking for some recommendations on lead loads that pattern well with this choke :popcorn:
:thanks:
Oly
Federal pre FC #6s, Fed FC lead #6s, and at 30 yds KENT Ultimate #6s( Not 35, not 40 but 30 yds for the Kent shells).
Fiocchi #7.5 lead to 35.
Hevi-13 #7s and yes the Hastings states lead only.
Thanks for the info RAJ,guess I've got some patterning to do. Anyone tried any hevi 6's or mag blend with this choke?
I did not mention the sixes but yes they should give a good to very good pattern with that choke. A 562 is just a little too snug for me on #5 .
My Hastings .566 shot the federals TERRIBLE. There was only about 75 in the 10. However, it shoots my TSS really good. I would have thought it would be great with the federals. However, i have seen some good federal patterns from the .562
I have a .570 Hastings that likes #6's and loves #5's
Thanks for all the info guys. Anyone had any luck with this choke & tss or is it to tight a constriction?

I'm thinking it would be smoking with TSS! Here's my pattern with 1 1/4 oz of TSS 9's with the Hastings .566. With that .562 you would think that the 10" might be around 230-250. Thats crazy good for a 1 1/4 oz load.

That's a great pattern gophert :drool: its posts like yours that have me seriously considering loading tss and putting the 10's & 12 ga away this year :icon_thumright: only problem is I'd have to fight my son for the 20ga :TooFunny:

I hear ya! I sold my 870 12 ga SM and bought a 20. That load is even a light "kids" load that my daughter shoots. My load, crazy good!
