Hevi 13/ Rem choke Modified
« on: February 05, 2017, 04:26:52 PM »
Was interested to know if anyone has tried Hevi 13 3.5 6's through a Rem choke modified choke for ducks. I have allot of boxes of Hevi 3.5 6's and haven't been impressed with the turkey patterns. I guess my question is, is it safe, would it be productive.

Don't see why anything  would be wrong with it.  We  shoot steel  and tungsten based substitutes out of factory chokes to no ill.   I would personally open it up a bit more myself and try an ic.    That ought to be about devastating.

Modified will be far too tight for most shooting...

I shot Hevi-shot for most of a season, back when I could get it cheap (I purchased a bunch at about 50¢ per shell).

At first I could not hit a darned thing, and opening up a shell and seeing that slag, I thought it was probably patterning poorly...  Took it out and patterned it, and it was just the opposite.  It was patterning far too tight, and opening up to an improved-cylinder or even a skeet choke, my success improved greatly.

At least in my gun, and IC with Hevi-shot at 40+ yards was plenty tight.

Interesting that you cannot get it to pattern in your turkey gun though?  I am using 1 3/8 oz loads, and it patterns plenty well out to 40 yards (as far as a good turkey pattern) with a standard full choke.

How far are you lookin' to shoot, and what chokes are you running it through?

Did I do that?

It should be a great swatter load for killing cripples. Lots of bb's to make a dead duck or goose.

Remember that hevi-13 turkey loads are not traveling the same speed as steel duck loads.  Your lead will be much bigger with the slower loads.

I'd recommend selling the turkey loads and spending that money on a duck load.   Besides the expense, you're going to tear ducks up quite a bit with that many pellets.  Pay your dental insurance!
