Dont waste your time on that choke and those shells. Get something, that is non ported and dose not have wad catchers/strippers. What gun are you shooting the heavyweights out of?

I am getting excellent results in my 870 20 and heavyweights using the remington hevi shot approved super full choke. It was by far the cheapest of the chokes i tried and nothing has beat it sofar with these shells. I have yet to try the new haymaker choke that is designed for the shells with the flight control wads.
