Best choke/shell combo for a remington 870/3" with a 23 inch barrel 3
you got a lot of options . I get great patterns with Win. longbeard #5's and #6's and a kicks gobblin thunder .660, H-13 #6's and #7's and a jelly head .660 , Indian Creek .665. I hope to pattern the H-13 with the kicks just to compare it to the jellyhead. Win HV 1 3/4oz #6 and Win XX 2oz#6 with a Kicks .655
i've been thanking about the kicks choke .660 or the .655 with the longbeard #5
thanks for the reply
If you want a cheaper choke, try a primos tightwad 660, and some LB 5's.
I'm running a cheep HS strut Undertaker non ported .665 in my 870 21" barrel shooting LB XR #5's and getting good results. And it's like a 20$ choke.
I've got the undertaker in 2 870s, it does very good with LongBeard 5s and 6s. One is ported and one not, both .665
Search function works wonders! And give the pattern sub-forums a look as they will show you the results of different combos people have tried. The stand by for 870's is the Jellyhead .660 and .665 paired with longbeards. I personally have a Sumtoy .665 and shoot the long beard 3.5 inch 2 1/8oz 5's. Yes they have both 2oz and 2 1/8 for those that do not know this.
Undertakers in both of my 870s. Federal Strut-shok and remington nitros.
Best -
3" 2oz TSS #9s and a .665 Indian Creek
More than good enough -
3" Winchester Long Beards and a Remington Super Full Choke.
Do a search and you will find more than you care to read on this exact topic
thanks for all the input, I thank i'm going to try the kicks .660 with the #5 longbeards
thanks again for the replies
I use a jellyhead .665 with magblends in my 870. I have a 23 inch barrel
jellyhead 665 with either mag blends or hevi 7's.7's put up a few more numbers but went with mag blends pattern was even was getting 190's with magblends and a little over 200 with 7's. tried longbeard 5's patterned okay in the 150's think ill stay with hevi shot.
