Turkey barrel and Heavy shot
« on: March 04, 2004, 04:05:49 AM »
I've been reading with interest all the posts regarding the use of Hevi-Shot through our TC turkey barrels with the provided choke.  I shot my Encore barrel yesterday with Federal and Winchester turkey loads and was less than impressed with the results.  Before trying Remington's Hevi-Shot, I decided to see what TC had to say about it.  I called their customer service this morning.  They said it is perfectly fine and safe to use the Hevi-shot with their turkey choke tube and barrel set up.  
Could anyone who's tried the Heavy-Shot tell us which size shot patterened well through their barrel?  The stuff's pretty pricey to buy several boxes of different shot size just to check patterns.  
Any help on a starting point (shot size) would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
