looking for some pattern pics or some info on anyone shooting the 555 and heavyweight 7s.  Can get one for around $50 to try but 555 seems pretty tight!

I have heard others say it works well.
I'm shooting a .560 Final Strut tube
With TSS and I like it. Very even patterns
In 10"/20"

Last year I was getting around 150-160 (10" @ 40yds) with a .555 IC and HW #7s.  Haven't had time to pattern this year yet, but I will soon.  Also going to try a Sumtoy and Trulock this year.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

I dont think That load likes a ported tube ?

That's what I've heard and read too.  BUT, then I patterned them with my 555 IC and consistently got 150-160.

its been found the 20 gauge version uses a less rigid wad which makes it not as big of an issue shooting them though ported chokes.
