Title: Looking for any help here
Post by: bigbird on April 29, 2017, 05:41:21 AM
I just bought a new gun, an SX3 20 in bottomland. It has a 26" barrel.  Now that I'm going to be using a 20 what constriction and shell combos can I try to get the best results. I'm interested in the federal heavyweight 7's and the longbeards, not so much in hand loading or any TSS 8's or 9's. I'm not sure those are legal shot sizes here in Indiana. If you have any ideas something that's working for you please share it with me.

I would call either Sumtoy or Trulock and get the scoop from them. No worries, both have done it a bunch and will get you set up with minimal patterning.  I only chose Trulock because of loyalty to them with some excellent customer service with my duck and goose gun, and they are close enough for me to drive.  But Sumtoy has the exact same customer service reviews.  Can't go wrong with either.
