I am going to shoot the RSF again after I polish the barrel again, but if it doesn't get to what I'm looking for I think IC is next on my list.
No, I have not got my hands on the IC .570, but I think it would be right in line with 275/250 with that load. Which to me, is PERFECTION! I've probably shot just about every popular choke out of this 870 21" and it's just my observation that the IC's shoot the most consistent
out of my gun. Any of these chokes however will kill a turkey dead. I know what my pattern looks like at 20 and I know what it looks like at 60. I think you really have to match your choke to whatever your hunting conditions are. I hunt 95% fields. Because of that, I better have a load/choke combo that will reach out and touch one. However, up until just this year I had never shot one over 30 yards. I pulled the trigger on a bird at 50 yards this year because he had hens with him and would not give me the time of day. If I had not known exactly what my gun was capable of, I would have never pulled the trigger.
That IC .562 shoots 300/230. I decided that was close enough to perfection.
