Can i use Hevi Shot with same choke tube?
 
From what Ive read it sounds like Hevi Shot is made of a little different material than Winchester Supreme turkey loads. Can i use Hevi Shot with the same choke tube in my Mossberg 835 as i use with Winchester Supreme?

Thanks

You have to make sure that the choke tube is designed with hevi-shot. If it is, then you can shoot hevi-shot or normal lead shot (such as your Win Supreme). If it isn't designed for hevi-shot, then you do not want to shot hevi-shot through it.

So if I shoot lead shot (Win. Supreme) then i should be alright to shoot Hevi-Shot?

No you need a choke tube designed for heavy shot

ya thats what i dont understand. Why CANT hevi shot be shot out of a regular choke tube.

because some of the shot is made of harder material than the choke tube, thus increasing the chance of grooving or damaging the tube...tony

Consider yourself educated then. No different than steel shot. Different shot materials require different choke constrictions and different choke materials. Pretty easy to grasp ain't it?
