Title: New lead shooter!!!!
Post by: Bottomland on April 24, 2013, 12:32:42 AM
Ive been thinking about shooting some lead loads to see what my gun does with them.  I have a 835 with a 20" barrel and currently shooting a rhino .690.  So my question is how should i go about this process? Which shell/choke combo yall suggest for the 835? I know the turkey thugs are new should i try them? Do yall think i need to get a different choke with a smaller construction?  Let me know what yall think.

Can't help much with the choke. I'm about to start the same search with a 935. But I would definetly give the Thugs a try. As well was some of the Winchesters in the black boxes either the Double X or the High Velocity. Probably #6s but id try some 5s just to make sure.

Cant go wrong with trying the thugs. If they dont work its not a huge let down due to their relative low cost.....
