Anyone shoot the nitro 517 and a pg .670 in a remington?? I know with this much shot a larger choke is needed, Is the .670 enough? I have shot the 510c with excellent results, I may go with them again.

prolly need to back down to the h51013a laods.  the 517t loads was developed for the 835 according to nitro and shoot better out of a really open choke.

I would think they would shoot good in a 835/935  with the big bore.
I forgot to mention Im shooting a 870,
There were a few patterns posted before the crash that were over 300 with plenty of shot in the 20" also that were from a 870 or a 1187.

Here is a 1187 pattern shooting the H517s with a .670 PG.

i shoot the H517T out of my 1187 with a nitro .660 choke.   i can put 319 in a 10" circle @ 40yds.

Found my pattern pic. I feel I could have gotten much more with a .680+ ED, in a quality (PG or IC) choke.

However, I don't shoot these anymore, because they are just too painfull, and don't pattern near as well as my 2 1/4 oz loads.



awesome pattern!!

Well I just got my 517T's in hand and will be shooting one this afternoon with the Winchester 1300 and a .665. If it is anywhere close to what you guys show, I will be very happy.
