I was getting 315-320 with my .575. That was too tight. I am getting 220 in 10" and 570-580 in the 20" at 40 yds with a carlsons .600 now. Modified choke, sporting clays.
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine

Loaded some 20 gauge tss #9s for the wife's shotgun. Shooting a jellyhead 770 choke. Not the best shooting conditions. Got 180 pellets in a 10" circle, 203 in the 20" circle. Any advice appreciated. If that's supposed to be a .570 diameter choke , throwing 1 5/8 oz of 9s , that's not very good . That diameter should be flirting with 300 in the 10 at 40 yards. But I guess you have that figured out. I'd polish the barrel, it makes a difference .

![[Linked Image]](http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p261/gobbler06/IMG_0912_zps2jsc8cfn.jpg) Just my opinion, but this is a pic of 300 pellets in a 10" at 40. (carlsons .575) ![[Linked Image]](http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p261/gobbler06/IMG_0975_zps1jjzz4ir.jpg) This is a pic of an even looser choke (undertaker .582) at 20 yds. Why would you risk the miss at 20 or closer when the pattern at 40 is adequate to kill 2 turkeys? Even dialing mine down to 210-215 in the 10" at 40, I still get 530 in the 10" and 580 in the 20" at 20 yds ! In the old days of a fixed full in an old 870 shooting copper plated #6's, I was ecstatic if I even got close to 100 in the 10" at 40 yds!!
