I have SX3 and found that the Hevi13 Turkey choke with the Havi 13 #7 did real well. The Federal #7 did good also. I have an Indian Creek and Tightwad  if you want to buy I can let go reasonable. Chief

I've had my LGS looking for this for months!  Any info on how the stock xfull choke works out?  I think I found it's a .580.  I already purchased some Fed HW7s.

If the Sumtoy doesn't work out, you may want to try the cheap Primos TW .570.

My SXP shot way too tight of patterns with the TW and HW7s, but yours may perform better with that choke.  My last two shots with the TW .570 and 3" 1-1/2oz HW7 were 190 and 168. Not much wiggle room with those counts, I prefer HW to be around 140s.

I can't remember the count, but the Trulock extended .585 did well with HW and TSS.  The supplied choke wasn't bad, so it's worth a try as well.

thanks reloader..

got sumtoy involved cause i startd turkey huntn with a 1100LT and it only shoots 2 3/4 shells, i have 

30 boxes of winchester, remington and federal magnum shells in 6 shot and are 1 1/8oz, so i wantd to

shoot them up in practice and hunting, before i move to what the masses are using today, so i askd

them to build me a choke that is best with lead and these shells at 25-30yds and this is what he

recommend a .562, my new sxp will be scoped, so a good tight pattern will be great. i will start here

and see what happens,  thanks for all your input    russ
