Mossberg 500, Carlson .575, BIG 20XL

Post by davisd9 »

Decided to take the scope off my 500 and see if it shot bead. When I had scope on gun and the barrel was clean I would average around 325. When I shot to check bead there had been around 5-6 shots through the barrel. I did run a dry bore snake through it twice to get as much out as I could. When shot at 40 yards from a range finder I got 277 in the 10" . I am very happy with the pattern and I suspect my numbers will increase if I clean the barrel, the numbers would drop with the scope after 2-3 shots. The gun has a 26" barrel and I have done nothing to the gun other than replace the wood forearm and stock and then put the Carlson in it.

That nice for the big 20 xl. I shot the same set up minus 2" of barrel. It will smoke a Turkey for sure. I now went to a shorter barreled 500, older youth model and still have shot 300 in the 10 at 40 with a hevi 13 choke. A sumtoy 562 will tighten it up even more.

I am good where I am and do not need tighter. If it tightens with cleaning that is fine but I like that 275 or so in the 10". My 26" 11-87 shot around the same, 287, and it more than did the job.
