Interesting article on Hevi-metal.  The author recommends a wad stripping choke as without one some of the pellets stick in the wad.

oh yeah. and dont use a wad stripping choke with the BC. those will grab and i'd guess they would make the shell tumble before the shot has a chance to separate  :chuckle:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

The Remington HD is the best "hevi" shot made its way way more dense than lead as compared to the Fiocchi tundra and the envirometal Hevi that are less dense that lead...

The pellets  in the Remington HD are round un like hevi.

If any of you guys shoot optima II choked guns the factory IC is really really good...  

I have some extreme choke llc chokes and they are super super good IMO.


Any of the new choke manufacturers that use a longer parallel section are going to give excellent EVEN patterns.  Optima II, Extreme choke llc comp N choke... there are a ton more but those are the best Ive seen :twocents:

I will agree the remington hd work great. i shot a few last year and had no complaint except the price. Hevi metal i can find on sale at bi mart and i pick up 3-4 boxes for $18 bucks a piece. i have yet to find the remingtons for under $27 and those are only 10 round boxes. its just too pricey to use regularly. but im cheap too. i shoot the hevi metals for geese and the rest of the time im shooting winchesters or kents.

I prefer heavy metal,  ducks are dead when they hit the ground. Twice last weekend with black cloud I had feathers falling all over and watched the birds fly off.

I agree heavy metal rules, black cloud is good but not as consistant(pattern wise)   Gotta start loading heavy metal, anybody do that?
