I hate them kicks tubes. owned a lot of them.. but when that feller said Hevishot wasn't safe I sold them all.
TSS i much denser and thus very ver unsafe..

Re: Rem 870 20ga youth 21" barrel, and Hal's Big 20 Stubby XL
So I've had a question related to this since I bought a Kick GT670 for my SX3. Are Kick's chokes save with Hevi-shot and TSS? I've shot Hevi-Shot through my GT 655 in my 870 SM for several years without issue. I know Kick's says their chokes aren't designed for HTL, but does anyone know a good reason? I've never heard of one getting shot out or ruining a barrel.

NICE PATTERN!!!.........I am getting numbers similar to that in my M2 with a .555 IC tube with Hal's Big 20 XL load but I'm going to give his Stubby load a try as well as his new 2 1/8 oz. load.
Re: Rem 870 20ga youth 21" barrel, and Hal's Big 20 Stubby XL
Thanks, I don't think the 2 1/8 load will cycle in your M2, and I think it's to much for a semi auto. Try the Stubby, and I think you will like the wad.turkeyinstrut wrote: ↑December 4th, 2017, 11:57 am NICE PATTERN!!!.........I am getting numbers similar to that in my M2 with a .555 IC tube with Hal's Big 20 XL load but I'm going to give his Stubby load a try as well as his new 2 1/8 oz. load.

I wondered about the recoil being too much for a auto and you are probably correct there, I was going to run Hal's MOA 20 load in the chamber and 2 Stubby loads in the magazine.2Shooter wrote: ↑December 4th, 2017, 9:39 pmThanks, I don't think the 2 1/8 load will cycle in your M2, and I think it's to much for a semi auto.

Strut, have you tried the Lil Zip load? I think with the wad it uses will pattern better through your I C choke. My Kicks GT ate the wad up in the MOA load. Let me know your results of which one you shoot. Good luck, but I wouldn't shoot the MOA load in your M2.

Re: Rem 870 20ga youth 21" barrel, and Hal's Big 20 Stubby XL
No I didn't get the Lil Zip recipe from Hal but I did get his Big 20 Stubby load recipe, does it use the same wad? I really like the Big 20 XL load but have a hard time getting it short enough to cycle in my M2, does anybody make a spring kit For the 20 ga. M2 as even the Big 20 XL load has purdy stiff recoil?2Shooter wrote: ↑December 5th, 2017, 9:55 pm Strut, have you tried the Lil Zip load?

How much hull are you trimming?

Re: Rem 870 20ga youth 21" barrel, and Hal's Big 20 Stubby XL
I am leaving about 3/16" sticking above the OSC, I have got them to where they cycle fine now as they are .015 to .020 shorter than a 3" Fed. Heavyweight. In the beginning they were too long but after some trial and error I got it figured out.DC1. wrote: ↑December 6th, 2017, 5:44 pmHow much hull are you trimming?
