Title: KICKS CHOKES WHY NOT A NEW CHOKE OR HEVI APPROVED!!!??? NITRO AMMO TALK OF END?
Post by: agturkey on January 28, 2012, 03:22:08 PM
Everyone knows the Hevi 13 and KICKS IND have a personal conflict.

Why do they not make a new line of KICKS chokes?

I think I am going to burn some 3" Nitro Ammo through my KICKS 665 before spring season comes around give them a try.

While in a major supplier store of NITRO AMMO (Not the Remington Line) the store owner told me that it may be the year to get these shells with talk of NITRO Ammo maybe stopping production?  Anyone else heard this?

I don't think so they just came out with new ammo. As far as the Kicks choke that has been talked about before i think Charlie said you could shoot Nitros because of the buffer used in the shell

IMO you can use any ammo in them, I have.  For heavier than lead applications kicks recommends winchester xd.  Now why could you use it and not hevi?  I think winchester is throwing in some money somewhere for that right.

I am not sure why Kick's is holding their ground.  Pretty stubborn and I am sure it is costing them in sales.

If the Winchester XTended range stuff is good to go through a Kicks I can't see how Hevi-13 wouldn't be safe. The Hevi-13 stuff is starting at 1050 fps and the Winchester load is 1200 fps if I'm not mistaken. Both are very similar if not exactly the same in hardness and density.
