I was able to find some Federal Heavy Weight #7, 1 1/2oz, 3" shell's(Last Box) yesterday at Gander Mountain.
I have the Primos Tight-Wad .570 choke/ Mossberg 24" barrel, so what can I expect with this combo.
I only got 5 shots and I dont want to waste them LOL!

You may already know this, but I would shoot some birdshot at 25yds to make sure where you're poa/poi hits, and then start at 30yds. That was my approach, I still have two shells left for turkey season, but would like to get another box when I can find some.

I have a tightwad choke foe my 870 youth (21" barrel) and with the federal 7's I can get 130-150
also have a Carlson .575 choke that will do up to 175
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

My youth 870 21" 20 gauge will run 125-135 with Fed HW #7's from the Tightwad.  Don't over look H13 #6 and #7 as they both do great from my 870.  The dang Hevishot Duck loads #6 @ 1250fps run 120+ from mine also.

I also have the 870 20ga. 21" youth with a .570 tightwad. With the 1.5 oz. load of 7's. I only shot one federal hw7 out if this gun. I got 128 at 40. I didn't shoot anymore due to cool temps as it was around around 50. Once I get another day that's mid 60's I'm gonna shoot it again.
