Title: SSX and Hevi #7
Post by: countryboy478 on April 06, 2017, 06:05:56 AM
Tried some Hevi #7 out of my 21in Remington 870 with SSX choke. Heres the results. 266 in the 10. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170406/319f1c7be2f4c52dd2aee3ba9851a8d6.jpg)

I'm asking a serious question that has perplexed me for a long time when looking at these threads, were you aiming at the big black dot?

I was. Only had one shell left to shoot with that choke.

That's what I figured. What I don't get about a lot of posts like this is it seems poi and poa always differ. I assume you guys resight to adjust for that but it seems like no one ever posts up those results

I never adjusted bbecause I'm going to shoot magblends. Here is a pic of one of my magblends pattern. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170406/0f136c017d8d078accd09cabb93f7766.jpg)

Its been my experience that the core of the pattern could differ with different chokes and different loads. SSX is the only choke that shoots to POA of any combo in my BPS invector +

That dog will hunt!
Great pattern!
I was getting about the same out of my 835 and SSX when I shot a 12

Hunt with either one...but you would be better served shooting the blend.

I love the strait 7s, I've shot them ever since Hevi came out with them and killed piles of birds. 40yds and in they are devastating. That MagBlend pattern looks very nice, I'd probably go with that one if it was my gun. Either will work though.

Was that a 3" or 3 1/2"?  I would stick with the 7's, better pattern density, but the Magblends will get it done as well.
