hevi-metal turkey

[BigPeck215]

anybody got any good info on the hevi-metal turkey loads. they are a blend of hevi and #4 steel pellets at around 1400fps, they are a 3.5" 1.5oz and a 3" 1.25oz shell, they are $12 for the 3.5's and  $10 for the 3's (5 round boxes of course)

they seem to be marketed as the poor mans hevi 13, i would be interested in trying them out as a novelty of sort, but i would be hesitant to shoot steel through my x-full turkey tubes, do you guys think there would be any problems?

thanks Zack

Zack,

If they are steel, DO NOT shoot them through your turkey chokes. Only a choke rated for steel is safe.

dont quite see the point of them? stupid idea in my opinion.maybe a blend of LEAD and steel would be a  good idea. But since you cant shoot steel shot through a turkey choke, and the majority of people now a days shoot tight (-er than full) turkey chokes..it doesnt make sense to me why Environmetal would market it.
maybe they would be a decent teal or woodie load! who knows...

I wonder if they are going to market a choke for this load?
