What do yall think? Good or could be better? 157 pellets in 10" circle at 40 yards.

What length shell? That will work, If thats a 3" shell then that close to what i get from my 3" 870. I get 155-170.

I believe you'll break the 200 mark easily if you drop back to the .665 range.  Try the Jellyhead. or a Kick's.

The ssx is a great choke, but I think it's just a little to tight for the #6's. Go to a choke in the .660-.670 range.

I tried a 665 Jelly Head in my 870 last year with th HV 13 3.5 # 6 and was only getting low
140's with it.

looks good to me,it isn't always about the #'s
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

I think if you have a good even pattern it would be a great load.
