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.

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.

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.
