Hevi-shot

Recommended Posts

Thinking of shooting hevi-shot Magnum blend with same turkey choke we have used with standard lead loads. Will choke survive safely? Not sure of tungsten or what ever metal they use

On a Turkey Hinting FB Page I am on guys seem to be using .665 chokes with no problems for the Hevi-Shot.

Did you buy the shells yet?  If not look into the TSS ammo from Remington or federal.  If you ever cut open a Hevi shot brand shell you’ll question spending big money on it.  Looks like welding slag swept up off the floor of a shop.  TSS is a little more expensive but patters rediculously tight and is 18g/cc vs Hevi shot which they claim is 13 but a lot of independent studies out there show it around 11.5-12 which is actually lighter or equal to lead.
