Have a friend who has a Rem 20ga and wants to know the best Ammo\choke combo for this gun . I know all are diffenent just want to hear some results to help narrow down what choke\shell combo he needs to get started with.

Thanks

Scott

If you can please give choke and shell combo and pattern results.

Hey man I got a cheap H.S. Strut choke I think last year. I don't remember how it pattered. Feel free to come try it though. I just finished my new shooting bench yesterday. I will have the lead sled out probably wed morning. I will shoot it again then. If you want to come shoot just let me know.

Scott...haven't personally done any testing with a 20 ga. Nitro has come come out with a couple of new 20 ga. 3" mag. loads with some impressive results using a Rhino .575 turkey choke. They tested the loads with a Charles Daly, Mossberg 500, and a Beretta 3901. With a 4x5x6 load the number of shot in a 10" circle at 40 yards ranged from 116 to 143 pellets. With their 4x5x7 load the number of shot in a 10" circle at 40 yards ranged from 156 to 196 pellets. That's all according to their web site. Both loads are hevi-shot loads.

I have the 870 Remington Express 20 gauge, Puregold .550 choke tube and Red Dot scope shooting 3" Envirometal Nitros in straight 7's. 40 yard 10" circle pellet count is over 225. Took a bird last spring at a distance I badly misjudged, but was closer to 50 yards + than 40.

The Environmetal Nitro shells aren't cheap, so I won't kid you about that. But I was so pleased in the performance that I sold the Rem 12 gauge, Rhino tube and Nitro H378 shells. The little 20 is a shear pleasure carrying, especially while running and gunning.
