I have Remington 870 with a 28 in barrel, thinking about making this my turkey slayer this year. Where should I start( choke -shell combo) gonna deep clean the barrel before I polish
Remington SF choke and Hevi 13 #7's. I have that exact gun. I killed 2 birds with that combo the first year I had it, but they were both within 20 yards. I'm getting 130-140 hits in the 10" at 40 yards with that setup.

I have the REM SF Turkey Choke. Can you shoot Hevi Shot through it?
I have the Hevi version of it. I know some people shoot Hevi through the Lead Only chokes, but I'm not one of them.
The Rem SF Hevi version choke or the Hevi turkey choke and Hevi 7's!!! :z-guntootsmiley:

Where did you get the choke? Is it manufactured by Remington?
I ran across a deal on a hs undertaker (5$)says it is a .582 wondering if anyone has shot any federal HW 6's or 7's

It is manufactured by Remington. I'm not sure where I got it to be honest. I checked around a bit and I could only find the Lead Only one.
i have the same gun, i shoot the rem sf and the tss#9's wwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooowwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the pure gold 570 actually patterns tighter but my point of aim is of so i "settled" for the rem sf. really that stuff is the real deal.
How can I get my hands on some of these tss loads
Shot the lil remy today after I deep cleaned the barrel. At 30 yards first shot was 151 and second was 160 in a 10 in circle. This was with the old Remington hevishot shot #6, how do the new hevishot compare to these. These were shot through a . 582 undetaker choke and I really like the patterns for hunting

Yes, I have the original 'lead only' and Hevishot and Federal HW's are all that go though it. Probably about 150 rounds now since 2007.

i would highly recommend a truglo ssx .550 and the fed heavy weight 7's.
