Well guys, I did buy some Federals with Flight Control, but also bought myself a Jellyhead, WHICH IS PORTED. Dont believe i can return the ammo, and even if i could, its about a 100 mile drive there and back to the store i bought them from. Will I be alright shooting these out of my ported Jellyhead? I thought I got a darn good combination getting this choke with these shells, then i read that they dont pattern well because of the choke being ported. Will i still be alright??
kdsberman, it won't hurt your gun any but your patterns might not be as good as if you were using a non ported choke. A lot of people use the FC loads out of ported chokes and do okay, but not out of my 835/Jelly Head. Until today, I never shot a 3.5" load out of the gun and my best 40 yard pattern put 68 pellets in a 10" circle. Tried some Hevi-13's today in #6 and put 102 pellets in a 10" circle from a 3" shell and 165 pellets in a 10" circle from a 3.5" shell at 40 yards. I'm sold on heavy shot. I'm afraid to try Nitros, my wallet is already hurtin!
