I have never used any carlson's chokes in any of my 870's. Shoot it and post the patterns so we will have a record of it. My guess is that it will get an average of around 123-130 at 40. Let us know.

Fed hw #7s. First shot-197 @ 40yds, second shot-140s @ 40yds. May have to clean between shots.

I believe you found your combo! Great numbers. Just for verification, what length barrel or you shooting? I would also bore snake in between shots and I think you will like how your gun performs. Thanks for posting!

It's a 24" barrel. I figure if I can average around 150 I should be fine.
