There is a lot of great information on here about their use.  This is better in the Gun section, hopefully a moderator will move it or you can delete it and repost in the gun section.  Need to know what your gun is and if you want to shoot 3" or 3.5".

If that is the Magnum Blend, which I just figured out is, you will likely get better patterns from a .665 or a PG .670.  Just shoot and see if you are happy.

the 3" shells are

5/8oz 5's
5/8oz 6's
3/4oz 7's      right around 400 pellets total

the 3.5" shells are

3/4oz 5's
3/4oz 6's
3/4oz 7's     right around 450 pellets total

these numbers have been verified by Enrivon and by cut open shells

Ill try to post some pics tomorrow but just got done patterning them out of my 870 this afternoon and was very pleased.

I tried a .670 PG, 665 Jellyhead and a .665 IC - I believe the IC gave me the best 10" numbers (around 240) and the PG was a little lower (about 230) and the Jellyhead was at 222 I believe and actually had the best overall pattern of the 3.

All 3 loads would hunt for sure but I really liked the JH pattern the best because of the 20" pattern and how evenly spread they are.

I used the Blends last year in my Nova with Pure Gold choke and was getting the high 230's and low 240's.

Average pattern for the 3.5"magnum blends out of my 935 with a Pure Gold 670 were 220 in the 10" and 430 in the 20" circles with a very even pattern.
