hrlevi1 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hey guys I need a little help here. I reload and shot hevi shot at all my waterfowl and turkeys. I recently splurged and bought a new SBE II. My question is "Is it safe to shoot hevi shot #4's through the Benelli Turkey choke?" The constriction is .665 and should function well however I thought I read that could do damage to the barrel. Is this so??? Please advise as tomorrow I plan on patterning this baby!!!! Thank you in advance for your help.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hevi-shot, the company, recommends .665 and up. So you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
147 Grain Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 ....and www.HeviShot.com and Remington both state on their website FAQ's that the best / tightest patterns with Hevi-Shot come from .675 extended chokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowest Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I will be shooting Hevi-Shot in my SBE II on Thursday. Do I understand that makers of Hevi-Shot recommend something like the choke with 2 notches instead of 1 notch(tightest?). Also, how do you guys know how many thousanths these chokes are? is it on the website? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
