Apex are as close as you can get to Hal’s hand load recipes. Apex hands down. I am using a .570 choke

Been shorting Apex for 4 years,won’t even try any other tss I bought a box years ago, before they were cool. The third one out of the box sounded like a cap gun going off, then smoke rolled out the end of my barrel. I had five strutting at 40 yards. Needless to say - I tried other TSS after that Others had the same experience. But I’m sure they’ve solved that by now.

Oh yeah federal would be the last of the 3…they short you on shot too as well as have less pellets. It’s a no brainer to stop shooting them as you’ve seen

Rocky ridge ammo co has a 2oz 20 gauge load. I roll my own and like the heavier load. May be a good option I’ve never heard of those, but that’s a dang good price for a factory 2 oz load. I have rolled Hal’s MOA load and it has significant recoil
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

I have rolled Hal’s MOA load and it has significant recoil That MOA load out of a 5lb 20ga will put hair on your chest. I don’t think there is any recoil comparable. It makes my 835 with 3.5” nitros seem like a pleasant shooter.

I have 2 Remington 870 20ga…both 26in barrels my primary gun is a .555 indian creek black diamond strike…the other which is my wife’s..is a .560 kicks gobblin thunder…both pattern very well..but i think id give the edge to the kicks…that gun slings one of the nastiest patterns i ever seen..both of those guns will annihilate a turkey wayy too far.
