With the season only a couple months away a lot of folks seem to be looking for setups.

It would nice to see what folks are shooting and results. If you feel inclined how about putting up your combo and pic of your pattern for all the people looking.

870 compact in 20ga. 21" barrel, RSF .572 choke and 1 5/8 oz if tss 8's. This is my best 40 yd pattern so far. However this pattern is pre-polishing the barrel. I'll get the trap out and shoot a few more once it warms a little.



Here it is at 20yds. Just for giggles and why not? smile. 327 in the 10".

I made this a sticky for now. Let's keep this thread for pattern pics and load/choke combo info only.

3toe, you have a lot of wiggle room with that 20 yd pattern. And that 40 yd is awesome with the 8s.

Here's a couple 40 yd patterns from new guns that I hope to kill one with this year:

.410 Yildiz O/U, 26" barrel, factory full, TSS 9-1/2s


28 ga Franchi 48AL, 26" barrel, factory full, TSS 9-1/2s

Both of those are smoking patterns.

On the 20yd pattern and wiggle room, not sure I follow. Thoughts?

It's plenty wide for 20 yds.

Last year's setup:

Stoeger 3500, 28" barrel, Primos Tightwad, 3" MagBlends - 206 hits in a 10" circle at 30yds. for this year, I'll be toting a Winchester 1300 because it's a full 3lbs lighter. gonna put a tightwad in it and start with the magblends and go from there.

Has anyone had any experience with a remington 887 with a indian creek in it? I have shot a franchi for years turkey hunting with an indian creek choke. Just wondering id the pattern out of the 887 with 3.5 mag blends would be any deadlier? Or to see some patterns thrown from one. Thanks.

I killed several birds with my 887. I used the factory full and 3.5" mag blends, and got 200ish in a 10" circle at 40.

crenshaw, i passed a couple opportunities last season at 53-58 yards with this same set up. just wasnt totally confident in TSS. then a buddy and i got a double, i shot mine at 30yds and his ran off. by the time he got on it and shot, the tom was 78 yds. killed him stone dead. i watched him flop with his head laying on the ground with a broken neck. he was shooting the same load i shoot.

tss is amazing

Yep it's bad news on a turkey. I was a little skeptical but pushed the range on my 20 gauge last year one time with very good results. I really don't know why any serious turkey hunter wouldnt shoot TSS. The gap to second best is huge.

I've got a couple of new chokes to pattern this year. I'll post up the pics in here when I do
