I was not impressed with the Rem. Hevi Shot X-Full tube at any distance shooting Rem. Hevi Shot 5' s through my Benelli Nova. The pattern was thin in places and not very well concentrated in the kill zone. The owner of a gun store suggested a factory IM or M choke for this load. Said he had good success with it both patterning and hunting last year. I plan on checking it out over the next few days and will give a report.
