RE: Anyone know if these chokes can handle HeviShot?
Hevi-Shot is A LOT harder than lead, copper or nickel plated.
If the choke is capatible with steel, then it is also for Hevi-shot. Or at least thats what most choke companies have listed.
I would just spend a little more money and buy one that is rated for Hevi-shot.
I have read where people are using hevi-shot and getting great patterns with every choke you have listed, but still. I rather be safe.
I know that KICKS isn't made to handle HEVI-SHOT.
I used Hevi-shot with my Star Dot and never noticed anything.
I wonder if the Winchester XR's would work better for you? They are softer than Hevi-shot.
