Remington Ventilator

[Ohiowoodchuck]

The old whites were loaded by Poly Wad and Jay Menefee in hevi shot in the first year they were loaded and loved to be choked for some reason, I've still got two full boxes of them and they were a true 13 gr/cc shot, afterwards Remington loaded them till Hevi moved to in house production and then everybody had to chase lot numbers every year because they changed components from year to year and dropped density to 12 gr/cc, after a couple years of chasing lot numbers I dusted off the reloading equipment and started loading TSS. The old whites were bad medicine on turkeys though.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was something like that. I think I got a box or two left also. If you put the right brand of choke in the gun in the .640 range, it will blow holes at 30 yards.

Thank You for confirming that!   I have some 3" black box Winchester Supreme #5's & I will give them a try with my Ventilator.

It is an amazing choke for lead.. It shoots lead better than my IC .665..
