Title: 20 ga Winchester SX3 choke recommendations
Post by: Spitten and drummen on February 21, 2018, 08:51:50 PM
I want to here what constriction choke you are using in this gun. Just bought it and want to put some 9 tss handloads through it. Been shooting a Benelli M2 with a Indian creek 555. It's super tight and I'm ok with it. Want a little more open pattern.

That's a hot core in the 10. I want a more even pattern. Actually having William build me a 568. May load without buffer to open it up. Thanks

My sx3 is the NWTF, 24in version

I got 243 with a PureGold .555 and nitro straight #7 hevi shot. 3in 1 9/16oz I think.

I'll pattern it with 1 5/8oz loads through a .565 mad max and .555 PureGold maybe next weekend.

The PureGold did solid numbers with all the heavyweight and Hevi shot through my gun.

But TSS I'm still figuring out.

My m2 with a ic 555 was devestating. The core is extremely hot. I want to get a more even pattern with this gun .

My 26" sx3 shoots a nice tight even pattern with the 560 IC. Tighter than some prefer buts is even so I'll take it.
