sleepydoc Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Hey two ducks! Hevi shot and tungsten fire the same as lead. They are essentialy "soft" pellets. I have an SBEII as well and am in the blessed land of Mcguinty formerly the Squiredom of Harris. Whereabouts do you hunt? Quote

twoducks Posted September 21, 2004 Author Posted September 21, 2004 sleepydoc,what chokes do you use for hevi shot? Quote
Dick whitmore Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Tunsten is harder than lead. Hevie Shot is tungsten-nickel iron alloy. Both are harder than lead or steel. Try SBE11 mod tube. If you don't like it call Rob roberts at Ballistic Specialties 800-276-2550 or go the web www.angleport.com Quote
DUKFVR Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 HeviShot is harder than steel. Tungsten Matrix is like lead. With TM use the chokes just like you would with lead. With HS I wouldn't go any tighter than Mod. If you are shooting over decoys or close shooting with HS , you may want to go with skeet or IC. HS tends to pattern tight. Quote
Dick whitmore Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Kent Impact is tungsten matrix and does act like lead (some what) and is a good shell. I use it in vintage fowling pieces instead of Bismuth. In newer shotguns I prefer Hevi-shot , and for waterfowl a choke with 700 consriction and shot load of 1 1/2 oz. The reason Impact workes like lead is polymer mixed with the tungsten. Other tungston alloy are not as soft. I have found no other shot that patterns as well as Hevi-shot .! Quote
