    M2000 choke/ammo

    in Turkey Hunting

    Posted

    I purchased an Indian Creek choke for my Stoeger and Benelli. I shot it in the Stoeger this weekend and I am very satisfied. It outperformed the factory XFT, Super Max, and Jellyhead chokes. I am very impressed and can't wait to try it in the Nova. Although it didn't like the Hevi-13 #6 loads, it loved the Remington Duplex 4x6s and Remington Nitro #6s. It was the choke brand that took the NWTF award for most pellets in a 3 inch circle from 40 yards. I think it put 45 pellets in there.

    Hi I have a Benelli Nova 12 gauge with a 26 inch barrel.I shot 3.5s and 3s in Winchester high velocity turkey load through the factory full choke and was not pleased at all. If the shot is 30 yards or less you could pull it off fine.Any thing past that and you'll be lucky for a humane shot. Then I shot the same loads through a primos jelly head choke.I shot at 50 yards with it and the factory full choke and there is no comparison. With the jelly head its alot better.The factory choke is not made for that. There were plenty of deadly pellets in the target from the jelly head. Closer in and you have an awesome pattern. Im still not satisfied so I ordered a mad hevi shot turkey choke and am going to shoot some hevi shot through it at 50 yds and farther at the range and see what happens. Ill let you know what happens. But I would not use the factory full choke for turkeys unless you can get them in close.see yah

    I have the same gun you do and the MAD Calls Super Max does a great job with Win HV 3 1/2 #6's.
