Mossberg SA 28ga. Pattern with IC .520 and Trulock .515

Post by Riverrat »

Done a little testing all week with this gun found the load and shot it in different chokes settled on the .520 Indian Creek compared to the .525 IC so I decided to shoot the Trulock .515 3 step to see the difference between the two. My particular gun hates 9.5 and I’m glad it worked out because I didn’t want to shoot 9.5 or 10 to hit numbers.

Man that gun patterns awesome! Your gun sure doesn’t care for that magical trulock several people have been raving about as much as the Indian creek.

I know right. The magical .515 is blowing the pattern bad.

IC .520 has patterned the best for me in every 28ga I’ve set up…. I’m not a fan of the 9.5s either.

I'm glad to hear 9.5's don't work for someone besides me, because I've tried them in every combo I can think of and they just splatter all over the paper.

I ordered the .505 kicks. Being that tight might blow the pattern. But we will see.

Got choke today. Looks good. Threaded in gun good.
I went with kick cause everyone else is going Indian creek and I shot indian creek years ago out of my 935 and it didn’t pattern as good as the jelly head or kicks. Kicks is what I’ve stuck with cause I like the holes instead of the long slits. Hopefully this one in the 28 does good. I’ll keep ya posted.
