3 steps. You may need to request when purchasing. I’ve received a smooth one as well.

I finished a smokehouse recently and will be making a good bit of sausage once it cools off a ton. Open to any suggestions you all have. I like using Walton’s and ps seasonings whe...

Approximately 499
Well then these patterns are exceptional at 538.
My math could be wrong. 8/ 254 & 9/360 254+360= 614 / 2
8.5 = 307/1oz 1.625 x 307 = 499
How’s that math look?

I have the exact gun, your patterns are a little better than mine but I'm shooting the choke that Briley made for it. I'm right in line with your numbers on straight 9's but I'm lower on the 8.5x9 duplex. I still hunt with the 8.5x9 and killed two birds with it this year. Love the gun I got away fr...

Remington 870 Express 28ga

I’ve owned this gun for a few years now and have finally started to put something together with it. The jebs and trulock chokes that I have tested have really impressed me! 88-91% 368-10” with 9.5s, 297-10” with 9s, 337-10” 8.5x9
