Browning Maxus Choke and Shell!? (Heavy 13/Winchester Extended Range)!!!

[ckhawkeye51]

Hello everyone this is my first post! I recently purchased a Browning Maxus in a 28" barrel and 3 1/2 inch chamber. I was hoping you guys could help me find a good choke tube and shell combination. I am thinking about shooting the Heavy 13 6 shot or the Winchester Extended Range. Is there a reason some people only shoot the 3" inch 2 oz 6 shot heavy 13 instead of the 3 1/2 inch? Thanks for the responses!!!

Thanks for the reply, any idea why the Indian Creek choke tubes recommend shooting a .665? What are the positives and negatives of the different choke constrictions?

I have a maxus w/ 28'' barrel also chambered in 3.5.  I am using the heavy 13 choke (664) and put 225 in 10'' circle @ 40 yards.  Tomorrow i am going to try heavy 13 #7s.

Has anyone tried the Jelly Head .670 with the 3 1/2 inch 2 1/4 ounch 6 shot Heavy 13?? This seems to be a popular setup.

I shoot a browning gold 670 rhino choke 31/2 , 7 shot nitro's never counted holes but pattern looks awesome.

How did the results go with the Heavy 13 7's!?

The weather was not good so i didnt go.  I will be going friday for sure.  Temps in the mid 60's and from what i have been reading here that is an ideal temp.  I will let you know how it goes.

My SX3 with a 26" barrel put 223 hits average at  40 yards shooting MagBlends with a .665 I.C.

I have the Maxus 3.5 chamber 26'' barrel. Just bought it last week. I went out and bought the heavy thirteen choke because that's the last choke I used in my 11-87, (what a dumb move that was) I shot Heavy 13 number five. Some Remington 6's and some heavy shot mag blend. Every thing was like 6-8 inches left. It was terrible time of taking a beating and getting pissed off. Have since been reading everything there is to read about winning combos for shells and choke. All i can tell you is don't do what I have explained above because it didn't work out of my gun at all.

Luke guess I have been lucky, my Maxxus poa/poi is dead on. And I shoot left handed.

Some invector+ barrels shoot a lot better with a .670 to .675 constriction, my 26" SX3 didn't do as good with.675 and really likes the IC.665, I'm getting 280 to 310 with Hevi 13 2.25 oz. #7,lot # 300325 and 300326. I've got a .675 kicks and Supermax so I'm not comparing apples to apples either.The .675 IC may out shoot my IC .665 but I'm happy with it.
