Post by: Drum817 on February 01, 2010, 11:29:00 AM
OK fellas' ...What's your favorite combo.... Gun/Choke/Load ?


Right now mine is my Supernova 12ga / I C .665/  Hevi-13  3",2oz,#6's  ....But I'll be giving those new Hevi #7's a whirl just as soon as I get my hands on some  RkLu

I have two right now.

My 870 Express/IC .560 with wad catchers/ and will either shoot handloaded T9's or I'm trying the Hevi-13 #7's out of it.

The one that gets the most use, is my 870 JR/Rem SF Choke/Fed HW #7's.  Both are 20 gauges  RkLu

Browning Gold 26" barrel with a Kicks GT .680 choke.  I use a 3" standard velocity Hevi-13 #6's and love them.

I cant find them any longer, but I actually preferred the original Remington loaded Hevi's in #6.  My only complaint about them was the buffering and pellets would fall out of the crimped end of the shell.  I put some contact cement on to address the problem.

Nova with a 24 in barrel, Carlson .665 choke and a 2oz load of Winchester Double X Magnum 4's or 5's. I picked up an old Lefever SxS this winter and I'm hoping to leave the Nova at home from now on.

I've got a new 835 that I'll be using, but I'm not sure which shells I'll be using. I've got tons of feed back but I still cant make up my mind. I'm sure it'll be #6's, but not sure which brand or size shell .

I've got 2 favorites, and I would grab either one for a day afield:

Mossy 835 / Pure Gold .670 / Win XR or HV 3" #6s
Benelli Nova / Pure Gold .670 / Old-White Hevi-13 3" #6s (I have a very nice supply of these shells) RkLu

For some reason, I always tend to use the Benelli in the fall, but I'm going to try out using a Stoeger 20 ga. SXS this fall with 3" Federal Heavyweight #7s.

I got me a 870 supermag, with a ported turkey choke I bought at a hardware store. The package was dusty with no company name on it but it shoots pretty good maybe a hastings but I don't know. Any 3 or 3.5 inch load of 4's or 5's nickel or copper plated shot works for me. I just put a paper plate at 40 yards and if no holes big enough to fit a turkeys head I go hunt. Never fails unless I do.

I have good success and really tight patterns out of my SX3 with a HeviShot turkey choke and Hevi-13 #6. That is the winningest combo I've tried.
