looking for some pattern pics or some info on anyone shooting the 555 and heavyweight 7s. Can get one for around $50 to try but 555 seems pretty tight!
I have heard others say it works well.
I'm shooting a .560 Final Strut tube
With TSS and I like it. Very even patterns
In 10"/20"

Last year I was getting around 150-160 (10" @ 40yds) with a .555 IC and HW #7s. Haven't had time to pattern this year yet, but I will soon. Also going to try a Sumtoy and Trulock this year.

it aint for me brother I'm not an IC fan...my M2 will be shooting either a carlsons and if i don't like that pattern i will shoot the sumtoy.
I DONT HAVE THE IC , I GOT A PURE GOLD 555 AND VERY HAPPY WITH THE PATTERN
AND I ALSO TRYED A Flambeau Mad Gobble Max 560. , ANOTHER GOOD PATTERN CHOKE ....

That's what I've heard and read too. BUT, then I patterned them with my 555 IC and consistently got 150-160.

its been found the 20 gauge version uses a less rigid wad which makes it not as big of an issue shooting them though ported chokes.
