I've got a Remington 870 SM with an Indian creek .665 in it. What shell do you guys think would give me the best pattern with that setup?

Do you want to shoot lead or heavier than lead? For lead the Winchester long beards are the way I would go in #6s. HeviShot shells are hard to beat for over the counter loads, I use to use the 2.25oz #7s. Nitro Company makes great shells. Or you could shoot the best and hand load TSS #9s. Depends on your style of hunting. If you like them inside 30 yards then any turkey load should do the job.

with shotguns I do the opposite of what your trying to accomplish. Pick a shell you want to shoot and make your gun shoot it. To answer your question, I'd start with  Hevi 7's 2.25 oz load.

I'd recommend the 3" Hevi-Shot 2 ounce load of #6's with that choke.  I believe you'll be impressed. :turkey2:
