H&R Turkey gun , Which Choke ?

[bencattin]

I have been shooting an H&R for the last 10 years. It is the model with bottom land camo on it. I currently shoot a Bansner 665 truglo choke in it and it does well with 5 shot.

The question is should I try a SSX in it and see how the Thug 6 shot will do ?

I would try shooting the 6's through what you have first, then see if it needs something different. It seems like the Thugs have been patterning pretty good through almost any combination. Good luck and let us know how it does.

I know this is the lead section, but I shoot the exact same gun with Hevi 3-2-7, so just take this as a data point in your search.  I have a Jellyhead .660 on the end of mine and it's a great pattern at 40, so I would take Michigander's advice and try the #6 lead load first.  I wouldn't be afriad to choke that to .660 as well.

I used to shoot a Hasting .660 through my Winchester with Supreme lead #5, patterned very well for lead.  Good luck with your experiment.

More data. I have the 2 Bansner .665's on the end of 2 H&R Topper Deluxe Classic's shooting Win XRHD 6's.  I don't shoot lead but my guns shoot well with .665 Bansner & .675 Super Mad MAx chokes.
