i was at walmart today and they had the turkey gear marked down....undertaker choke tube .665 marked TAKES ALL TURKEY LOADS on the box big n bold.....on the way home i see its marked on the tube lead shot only......what kinda crap is that? i bought a box of remington high velocity #6 hevishots to go along with it....11 bucks for the tube and 11 for the shells...now it dont sound like i can use them???? is that undertaker OK for hevishot?? i figured tight constriction....small shot.....ill probably get a killer pattern.....but now im thinkin i might wasted 20 some bucks......stupid false advertising saying takes all turkey loads...then it says lead shot only on the tube........is it safe?? anyone know???? thanx alot......

There should be a website address or phone number on the choke. Call the manufacturer.
You can return the choke, but you're stuck with the ammo. But if you're gonna complain about paying $11 for Hevishot, then you're nuts [8D]

I have an Undertaker choke designed for Hevi-shot. It is called the Undertaker H.S. The H.S. is on both the choke and the package. It states right on the packaging that it is "for use with Hevi-shot loads, Bismuth & Tungsten Matrix".
On the back of my packaging it lists the Hevi-Shot inside diameters for the different shotguns. All but one are listed at .675 with the exception of .705 to be used in a Mossberg 835.
Hope this helps.

that makes me mad.......not really complaining.....i got a steal........the ammo and choke are both worth double......i know i can return the choke.....but know im stuck with the ammo......im sure the undertaker will pattern better then my factory choke i shot now.......11 bucks i should keep it....but why keep it.....hmm maybe ill email the company saying they false advertised.....hevi shot IS a VERY popular turkey load....right on the box it says HANDLES ALL TURKEY LOADS and thats why i bought it......and see if they will swap me an HS one for a few more bucks or something........i did look at their website after tyinging my first post.......and seen that........i have a 21 inch barrel on my 870........if i get that SAFE tube.........what size hevishot will probably perform best with the understaker??? i figured tight restriction #6 will probably my best bet......they have a few boxes left.......and a few boxes of flight control and other normal turkey loads all less then 5 bucks......and hevishots running at 11 for 4 5 and 6 shot........what do you guys think?? small shot tight restriction like .665 right???? think thats how it goes.......
oh ya......the hevishot box says NOTHING about being unsafe for some choke tubes......only place ive read it was online pretty much.........what happens when you fire hevi through a normal tube?? just wondering......thanx guys....anyone shoot a 870 with an undertaker? or an undertaker period? hows it perform for you??? thanx

Mauser, If you dont want the tube anymore, email me and I'll buy it from you for what you paid plus whatever it takes to ship it. Just PM me or email me if you would be interested. The only way to tell which shot will be the best with your gun is to shoot them both. This is what can happen if you shoot hevishot through a non approved choke.

dang......looks dangerous.....looks like i wont try it and see for myself.....looks like the choke exploded and theres barrel damage as well.........they really should mark things a little better......if i didnt come to these boards id have no idea.......i would read "handles all turkey loads" say the hevi shot on sale as well.....fired it.....and blew up my gun.....im going to email undertaker and see if they will swap me or something for a hevishot tube......if not we might talk......i dont know....kinda dissappointed......but always wanted to get them awesome patterns of hevishot............hmmm thanx alot.....you saved my 870........and possibly my life.......that pic is enough to keep me from jammin one in my gun n pullin the trigger
