dowgars Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Can Heavyshot be used through my Benelli IM and Full Chokes that say no steel? Quote
Paul Vincent Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I have by mistake...gun did not get wrecked, but heavyshot patterns better with more open chokes. Also, I will not use the incorrect chokes again. Quote
tucker301 Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Hevi-shot is OK through the tighter chokes. Many turkey hunters use it through extra full turkey chokes with no problems. As Paul said, it tends to pattern better for most through Mod. or wider. Quote
Liberty or death Jr. Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 I have never seen any harm come to a gun from doing this but I have found that the patterns just don't seem right. The BBs tend to bounce off of each other when squeezed through to tight of a choke.You should get exellent patterns with a modified and improved cylinder. Quote
acorn Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 I have a M-2 I use for fur, did patterns with heavyshot with factory full choke gives best pattern for distance, 40 yards, also note I use 2 3/4 " loads and when using faster than 1250 fps or heavier than 1 1/2oz. of shot patterns start to blow. Hope this helps! Quote
