It will shoot good with the 645 to 650 rang choke.  It will be a 40 yard gun with lead or 65 yard with the heavy stuff.  Sumtoy Customs,IC or Pure Gold.  I have saw Kick's work in some.    Kick's and Sumtoy work in small the IC and Pure Gold you need to call them.

I shoot a Rhino.673 with hevi #7's, PureGold shot just as good as the Rhino.  Jellyhead .655 did okay but the rhino and puregold was better

My m1 is the tactical so it has a 18.5 barrel.  i was getting about 220 with the rhino and Puregold and about 200 with the JH.  I tried the Ext range #6's and didn't even bother to count them......they were that bad.

Yea I have heard that its hard too find a gun that likes the winchester ext.
I have also got a winchester 1300 and it didn't like them either. But those patterns look great. Looks like your more than ready. I would hate too be the turkey in front of that gun lol. I may get me a pure gold I have had good luck with them.
