I bought two new chokes this past weekend but have not shot them yet. One is a lesser expensive Primos with .660 constriction for $25 and another Tru Glo Xtreme with .665 constriction for $25. The Jellyhd was .665 and $40 but I did not buy that one.

If the hevi will pattern with my factory choke, i may return the other two chokes but not sure it is designed for it. If not, what are your thought on the two i purchased?
The Remington choke is lead only so I would not recommend shooting Hevi thru it.
Personally I would try out the .660 choke first, and then if it does not give you the patterns you want go to the .665 choke. If you are shooting the Hevi-13 3" 2oz #6's I have a sneaky suspicion the .660 will be what you are wanting.
