[QUOTE="th88, post: 5295555, member: 16217"] 870 max gobbler edition with the factory rem choke that came with it (.665 lead shot only). Tried the Rem-Choke rated for hevi-shot which is a bit more open, but it didn't perform as well. Also tried a fancy high dollar Indian Creek and the cheap factory choke outperformed it with multiple loads. Choke may blow out next shot, but i've been using it with HTL loads since 2008 and TSS since 2015. Actually about to tinker with some 7x9 duplex loads to get the pellet count down some. Been shooting the current 2.5oz #8.5 handloads since 2015 and it does a fine job so ain't messed with it. But got a bit too many fliers for my liking. After 2 close calls with the dentist, I want fewer pellets and as few fliers as possible! I know, I know, #7 TSS is a waste. But my stubborn old man didn't realize that and bought 5lbs that we need to use up. So figured i'd throw an ounce or so in our handloads. I've played with straight 8s before and they hold tighter at 40 yards than the 8.5s. So hoping the 7s follow the same trend. [/QUOTE]
