RE: Choke tube question
Maytom, what distance was that pattern shot at?
Thats the kind of pattern Im looking for.
Can the nitro heavy be shot through a comp-n-choke .658 ok or is .660 the tightest constriction they reccommend?

Bubba, that was shot at 38 yards. Nitro Company specifically uses Rhino chokes for all their pattern testing. I did hear that they are now trying out other chokes. I'd contact Comp-n-Choke to verify if indeed you can use Hevishot through their choke tubes. Here's the link for Nitro Compnay.

Maytom, Nitro Ammo Co., recomends Rhino,Patternmaster,Carlsons,
Truglo and Trulock.....any Stainless Steel or Titanium choke.
I have the Truglo Adj. Titanium and don't have to change chokes
when I change ammo,just have to pattern the new stuff. I have
it installed on Moss "Fly way" 835--28".
Also can use the same choke for Turkey,Geese, Ducks,Doves,
Quail and Rabbits.It delivers good killing patterns on all listed
above.
I also think the UnderTaker Turkey chokes are excellent with
Nitro hevi-shot.
The reason I'm asking is because you keep mentioning Rhino.
I understand that Comp-N-Choke is not Recommened for
Nitro-Hevi-Shot, that's a given.
Give me a sales pitch on Rhino or tell me why you prefer Rhino?
I'm not questioing your abilities as a turkey hunter or think you
are a know it all.I read all your threads and think you "ARE" a
turkey hunter and give good advise.
Thanks....RH

This is what a Rhino choke tube sized .660 and 3" Nitro hevishot loads did out of my 1300. That's a 10" circle on that target, and I counted an honest 316 pellets inside!!!
That is what kind of pattern I was searching for all along. Glad I made the switch two seasons ago, because there is no more holes in my patterns at that distance, and hevishot hits like a sledgehammer compared to lead.
