Those are really good numbers for the 6s.

If I was shooting those numbers with 6's I wouldn't consider 7's.

What choke you shooting

dipitydo2003

I'm shooting an Indian Creek .555   I tryed a rsf choke and was getting high 80's  to low 90's in 10in.@ 40. Going to stick with the IC and hope after cleaning & polishing barrel #'s might go up a bit.

Thats a good pattern for the 6's it sounds like. Polishing should help improve it a little bit if you've never done it before. Let us know how it goes

I'm getting almost identical numbers with Mossberg Bantam and a .572 undertaker.

mossy 20 with polished barrel and ole cheap tightwad choke,im getting 135-143 average with 200 being the average in the 20 with hevi #6 and yes the polishing is the trick :OGturkeyhead:

I can get around 120-125 with  the old Remington Hevishot #6's using a .565 Truglo GSX
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

I am averaging about 95 at 40 with H13 6's out of a 21" 870 and a Truglo GSX.

Shot my 870 21" today after i cleaned and polished it. Shot 3 times, 1 was high, 1 was right, hit the 3rd. shot hit just right and had 137 #6's Hevi-13 in the 10"@40. All 3 shots was a death shot for a turkey. LOVE THE LITTLE 20GA.   :funnyturkey:

Those are good numbers with 6's.
Not sure that you would need to but have you tried any 7's ?
