ny_gun Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I just bought a Bennelli Nova that I plan on using for turkey hunting in a few weeks. It came with 3 Benelli Chokes and my gun dealer gave me a 'Turkey XFull' choke. My question is the choke says 'Lead Shot Only' on the side. Will I have problems shooting the Remington Premier High Velocity Magnums I have? The reason I ask is the box says they are 'Copper Plated'. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut_Buster Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Re: XFull Choke & Benelli Nova I was confused with that at first too.. but Copper plated shot will not damage your lead only chokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Re: XFull Choke & Benelli Nova Strut Buster is correct. Copper plated shot will not damage your chokes. The same for nickel plated shot. The plating actually makes them more fluid through the constriction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny_gun Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Re: XFull Choke & Benelli Nova Thanks for the information. What about the Remington Hevi-Shot? Is that OK with a 'Lead Shot Only' choke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Re: XFull Choke & Benelli Nova I think so, but AJ will let us know. I asked the same question not too long ago. I believe that hevi-shot is more fluid than steel shot. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Re: XFull Choke & Benelli Nova I use it with a lead shot only choke. While the stuff is harder than lead, it is fluid enough going through the chokes. I have shot it through a .640" tube with no damage.

Strut_Buster Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Re: XFull Choke & Benelli Nova What i learned is hevi shot like chokes that are a lil more open. So iwould buy a specified hevi shot choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
