PRIMOS TURKEY CHOKES
I have a Remington 870 Super-Mag, and will be using Federal 3 1/2" premium mag-shok #5 Heavyweight shells. I have been looking for a compatible choke, thats not gonna kill me in wallet department. I have seen Primos tightwad chokes for sale a lot of places, but havnt been able to find any reviews on them, any comments?
ALSO>> Anyone know where you can buy these shells (other than Gander Mountain) for less than $25.00 for a box of ten?
THANKS!!

RE: PRIMOS TURKEY CHOKES
I'm not trying to be a smart-butt here, but it seems your really going about this thing a little backwards. Pick a choke and then pattern different shells till you find one that works best. Otherwise you're going to be spending a ton of money on chokes until you find one that works.
I do use the Jellyhead in my 870 and with Nitros and the new Win. Extendeds it is downright nasty out to 45+.

RE: PRIMOS TURKEY CHOKES
The reason that I'm doing it this way is because I have done a bunch of research on the balistics data, material that the shot is made, powder types, barrell speeds, and down field energy, and really liked the data I found n this particular shell. I have previousley used lead shot, but about an hour after I bought these shells, I remembered......... Current choke is for LEAD ONLY. Sucks to be me, but now after research on shells, I am in need of a choke. Might be the more expensive way to go, but the way that I'm stuck with now, bought a lot of shells.

You can't shoot the new Federal Heavyweights through a lead only choke? I heard it was soft enough and was comprised of several different metals. Maybe not I guess.

RE: PRIMOS TURKEY CHOKES
The only thing you can shoot through a lead choke is lead, EVERYTHING else is to hard, whether it's steel, or some tungsten matrix blend, there is absolutley NO heavyshot that can be sot through a LEAD ONLY choke.
The are comprised of two differant metals though, Federal uses a Tungston-iron blend
