Has anyone here ever tried to pattern any of the other HEVI-Shot products/shells through a turkey choke? HEVI-Shot Goose, Duck, Pheasant, Etc? Thanks.

I had a friend that shot the duck load 7's 11/4 to find his mom something to shoot. He got 191 at 40 with them.

I tried the ducks load before and they didn't pattern for squat through a turkey choke.

We had a smaller choke in his gun. He put a 642 in it with the load only having the 11/4oz of shot.

I had a buddy shoot the 2 ¾" Hevi-Shot 7.5's Duck loads through a Winchester 1400 with a JH .660 choke at 51 degrees.

He got 145 at 40 yards and 84 at 50 yards.

The older 20ga hevi 7.5 1-1/4oz duck loads pattern great from turkey chokes. Darn things don't even have buffer, but they throw a heck of a pattern.
