Hello Folks - I have an approx 12 year old choke manufactured by Remington. I purchased this soon after Hevi Shot hit the market.
Printed on the choke is: Remington Super Full Hevi Shot Steel or Lead
Does anyone know the diameter of this choke?
Thinking of running some Win Longbeard or Federal TSS through this. Any issues with either of these loads and this choke?
Any recommendations on what shot size might work best (Win longbeard or TSS) with this choke? I'll be using a Rem 11/87 with a 26" barrel. I fully realize each gun, load, and choke has to be patterned, just thought some with knowledge might offer a starting point.
Thanks,
Greg
12 ga? 20 ga?
Just measure it if you have calibers
Those were some good chokes! The 12 ga version was .675 and the 20 ga was a .570 if I remember correctly.
My RSF hevi 20 ga is .576.

.665
thanks for the feedback....appreciated.
.675, I measured it on my calipers. :icon_thumright: I bought mine years ago when Remington first came out with Hevi-Shot turkey loads. My 870 SM shot the 3 1/2 " 1 3/4 oz #4 shot HV very well.
RSF Lead Only: .665
RSF Hevi Shot: .675
Just purchased a Super full lead only .665 measured with calipers.
