New to this site. I am thinking about shooting the hevi shot 7's through my gold hunter. What choke would yall recommend ?
An indian creek .665, pure gold .670, sumtoy .665-.670 or a jellyhead .670 should all do great in your gun. You have to choose the one you want.

First of all, welcome to OG. It's a great place and filled with folks who'll do the best they can to be of help.
The Browning GH is an excellent shotgun, been around for a long time and shot by a number of folks for all kinds of game and games.
Turkey chokes are always a "hot topic" in any group of people. Many have their favorites or one that has worked for them. In reality, there are many excellent turkey chokes, all shapes prices, brands and designs.
I can tell you what has worked for me in my Browning shotguns. I shoot several of them with different barrel lengths, for different purposes. As far as turkey chokes go, the Pure Gold (.670), Wright's (.660), SSX (.643) and Hevi-13 turkey chokes (.664) have all done quite well and all are quite reasonably priced for the quality of construction and performance they deliver.
The Browning engineers recommend their "Full Strut" turkey choke that has a .640 exit diameter and it's also an excellent turkey choke.
Lots of choices and they all do well.
Thanks,
Clark
Welcome to old gobbler. I shoot hevi 7s in my silver hunter with good results. I have shot many chokes. The Indian creek 665 shot the 7s well but didn't do well with hevi 6s or mag blends. The Indian creek 675, pure gold 670,jelly head 670 and rhino 670 all shot good with the rhino doing the best. I get inthe 250s with 7s and average in the 180s with hevi 6s. Hope this will help :bike2:
I shoot the same gun with the Hevi Shot choke and have excellent results with both 3-2-7s and 3-2-6s, I shoot the 7s when I hunt and have removed the worries of quite a few Michigan Toms with this load.
Thanks for the help!
