I have a question. Getting my boys out this yr for their firsts hunts. I have a youth model 870 20 ga. with just a regular ole full choke. The bro in law had some shells given to him he gave to me. They're Premier Remington heavy shot. I know your supposed to have a particular choke for the heavy shot but will it be ok to run a few thru the gun or an absolute no no? Never played with the heavy shot befor and just curious about how they will pattern with that gun.
I don't think a few shots would hurt, but if it were me, I wouldn't do it. Why don't you just put a choke that's rated for lead or heavy shot on it? That would be the safe thing to do. You can get an Undertaker choke for 20 bucks. It's a very good choke for the price. That way you won't have to spend much to see how it patterns.
