The best factory 20ga turkey loads on the Market.

With this load and this choke I constantly get 90 percent shot retention in the 20" circle at 40 yards with even dense patterns.

Where did you get that choke from?

What's the 25-30 yard pattern look like?

That's a great 40!

It was in the gun when I bought it. The guy that I bought the gun from called and had IC make it for him just for the Fed HW 7's.

Does anyone shoot this combination thru an Indian Creek ported choke and if so, how does it pattern??

 IC does not recommend shooting Fed HW's through their ported chokes.

  I realize that they don't recommend it.  But that's just like Kick's not recommending that Hevi-Shot be shot thru their chokes and several of us have done it for years with no ill effects.

  I shoot those 20 ga HW#7S and love how they smash birds.I use a sumtoy and rsf chokes .Ive never shot the 20 ga HW7s thru a 20 ga indian creek, but i have seen a ton of guys on here and other sites shooting that combo and they pattern real well from what i have seen. That said, i have personally ruined a Indian Creek choke in my 935 12 ga shooting Federal Heavyweights. That was an early HW 12ga load and from what i understand the FCW on those 12 ga loads was extremely stiff plastic and didnt do well with wad stoppers or ports. The 20 ga FCW is suppose to be a softer more pliable plastic that reacts better to wad stopping chokes. I wouldnt have any problem shooting HWs in a 20 ga Indian Creek. That said, i wouldnt buy an IC choke to shoot HWs, theres better options like trulock, sumtoy,jebs, or have indian creek build you a non ported choke .

Maybe the best overall pattern from factory shells I've seen from any gauge shotgun.



IC needs to make a run of these bad boys.
