Just bought a couple of boxes of the Spectra Shot White Lightning shells. I was wondering what chokes anybody has tried with these shells yet. I thought Clark (or anyone else with experience with these shells) might be able to help me narrow down my choke options before I start shooting up a bunch of shells. I will be running them through a Winny 1300 with the 22" barrel. The chokes I currently have are three Kick's chokes (.655, .660, .665), an IC .660, Hastings (.645 and .665), and a CNC XX Full (.675 I think). Any help would be greatly appreciated. :cross2:
I recently did some testing with those shells and out of my gun they seemed to like the tighter chokes and specifically the SSX. But for the performance they put out compaired to other shells they are not worth the costs.
As Philippe said, start with the tighter chokes first. The patterned very evenly for me. I did not try many different combos at the patterning board but they did seem to like a little tighter constriction. Don't let the fact that the numbers in the 10 at 40 may not be as high as some other loads discourage you. Notice how even the pattern is all through your 10" and 20" circles. That seemed to be their strength in my opinion.
Didn't someone say that they have oversized #6 pellets? Like 5.5's maybe?
1 5/8 ounces of 5.5's?
They are oversized 6s
Take the Large Hard 6's into account with the 10" numbers.
We don't normally expect super-high numbers with large pellets.
If these are bigger than 6's, and still turn 130-150+, they will be a head knocker for sure.
I look forward to seeing these patterns, especially if they are nice and even.

They wont turn those kinda numbers. I tested them with 8 different chokes, the thugs have these beat by a mile at half the cost.

that's good to hear,I really didn't expect much out of such a expensive lead shell
