Nitrocompany makes 10 GA loads with hevishot. I talked to Ray about them and he says the Hevishot as it comes to him will score barrels. I also saw a warning on Remington's hevishot loads that say they will score some barrels. Ray said they (Nitro) are treating the shot with a resin coating and they tested these. They don't score barrels. I would assume Remington is doing the same thing. Note the disclaimer on the hevishot website that clearly says they are NOT responsible for barrel damage... period!

All I can say is... it'll cost me about $300 for a new barrel and until some more research is done, I'm not willing to risk it. I get good patterns from the 3 ounce 10 GA loads already.

No jakes!
