What pellet count should I expect from XRHDs in a sumtoy .665 and 870SM?

I got a couple of boxes from last year I need to pattern with my .665 sumtoy. What pellet count should I expect in a 10" circle on average? (3.5 #6's 2oz)

Did some searching on the forums but cant find much

Hard to say...but my best guess would be 180-225 in the 10" at 40 yards.  Again that's just a guess based on what I shot through a 835.  When you shoot a few let us know how it worked out!  :icon_thumright:

It will be more than enough for turkey kill'n.  Once you hit 150 you're in overkill mode.   

I like overkill  ;D

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Dang it Drum  turkey season isn't even started good and I'm already overlooking details. I saw it the second look though and thanks for helping the elderly crowd.

3" 870 Shell Shucker

I tried the 3" 1.75oz #6 XRHD and got 193 with an Indian Creek .665

I imagine the .665 SumToy choke will get after it.
