I shoot an IC .570. Out of mine this is Hal’s big20xl 1-5/8 #9s .570-.575 seems to be a sweet spot for them. I have a.562 and it’s a tight pattern.

What exactly did your pattern look like? Put a picture up.

I shoot the standard full choke with both Apex 8s and 9s in my 20ga 870 and youth 1100. I was real impressed with the performance last spring in Texas. It will kill a turkey stone dead way out there. I will leave that right there.

I'd try a cheap Primos Tightwad. That choke has patterned well in 3 straight guns for me. I'm currently shooting it in a Wichester Longbeard SXP 20 guage with 9s and its deadly farther than I'll shoot one.

Go a .575 or .585 constriction…I shoot a trulock .585 but both seem to throw great hunting patterns that would kill as far as you wanna kill em

There shouldn’t be anything wrong with the .565 jebs shooting 9s. What specifically about the pattern were you not happy with?

Shooting a trulock 575 out of a 870 youth compact (19" barrel). Mine never liked being choked to much.
