Chokes and Loads
« on: April 06, 2011, 08:20:35 PM »
The title sounds like quite the movie. Anyway,  I have a .665 turkey choke that came with my escort magnum gun.  The choke reads "lead shot only" my question is can I shoot the hevi-shot magnum blend through it.  The bbs are tungsten so I dont know if I can shoot them through my choke or not.

I would not recommend it ,if it says lead only.I have the same shotgun and i bought an
h.s  undertaker H.S choke for around 20 bucks.Taking the chance wasn't worth it to me

Thanks flinger. I talked to a guy at a gun shop and he said if i use that load really all i need is a modified choke anyway because it is in its shot makeup to hold pattern anyway, so no reason to choke it down more.  Or I can use some lead loads like, winchester turkey loads, and use my turkey choke with those.  Whatever I do it sounds like more money patterning.
