I got a new to me Winchester SXP 20 ga off of @Smawgunner2 a couple months ago and topped it with a Vortex Sparc. I shot it last week with my go to Winchester XX #5 and wasn’t pleased with the patterns. Picked up some Longbeard XR #6 and that was the ticket. It patterned great with the factory choke at 20, 30, and 40 yds. I had picked up a Carlson’s Longbeard XR choke as well but didn’t even try it as I was super pleased with the factory setup.
