Lead Shot Only

[Vintage]

Can I shoot TSS through a Remington choke that say's Lead Shot Only.

[Gooserbat]

I have and it shot very good.

Idk is your TSS lead? Pretty obvious answer no? Chokes labeled lead only are to be shot w lead per the manufacturer.  You could always ask Remington though. I'd be interested in hearing what they say.

Could swell the choke and possibly damage the barrel. Don't ask me how I know.

These discussions came up big time when HEVI 13 hit the market.  Pretty much came down to nobody would commit for fear of a law suit.  Times don't change in a litigious society.  You're on your own.  Good luck.

If I'm remembering post from year's past the lead only chokes could be making a one way trip.  They would screw in as usual but after a few shots with not recommended loads not screw out again.

Pretty simple really. Follow the manufacture directions or damage could occur.

I wouldn't try it. I saw what happened to my friend's IC choke with the old flight control wads, nasty! Modern choke is cheaper than a  new gun ... or an eye.

They'll probably say nothing since they're out of business.

Over the years...I've seen quite a good number of destroyed choke tubes posted right here on this site , thats just the ones I've SEEN ... it is very reasonable to assume there is quite a bit more nobody even knows about

Some of the chokes were catastrophic failures where they peeled right open and destroying the barrel in the process

Various types of shells were used ...you got to be careful these days

Yes ...as previously mentioned,  there is lawyers hiding behind every stop sign and tree in this country ...we know  a man lost his home for allowing someone to fall out of his treestand....true story ...lawyers

Remington isn't out of business. They just have new owners.

I just looked at my Remington Super Full choke and it says lead only.  I've shot HW 7's and TSS for years through it and not had any problems.  I didn't realize people had issues.  I have that same choke in 2 guns that get hunted daily in the spring.   Probably been over a hundred HW 7's or TSS 9's shot through them.

Has anyone specifically had an issue with the Remington factory super full choke ?

I was thinking that Remington did't want steel shot fired through those chokes.

Ive been shooting tss through my star bright choke. So far so good. I guess I need to search for another choke tube.

I believe in what it says, not somebody else's opinion. Safety precautions are there for a reason, you know, like don't look down the barrel of a loaded gun.
