huntinsonovagun Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: can I shoot 00 buckshot threw my turkey gun? Probably should ask in the Shotgun forum. I doubt I would do it....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: can I shoot 00 buckshot threw my turkey gun? I don't think that you can. I think you need a rifled or straight barrell for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Re: can I shoot 00 buckshot threw my turkey gun? Sure, but I would use #4 buckshot. It is more than enough to get the job done and gives a denser pattern. Yes, you can use a full choke. Pattern them to see which one works best with your barrel/choke/ammo.

wtnhunt Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Re: can I shoot 00 buckshot threw my turkey gun? I would not. Not legal here to use buckshot anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Re: can I shoot 00 buckshot threw my turkey gun? Yes. I use my .660" Rhino choke for buckshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
py_archer Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Re: can I shoot 00 buckshot threw my turkey gun? I called Hastings and asked them this very question a few years ago. Their answer was you can shoot any size lead shot through any of their tubes designed for lead. I did not like the patterns though (.660) prefering my improved modified for targets at 30+ yards. I just got more center shots when I opened it up. If you are serious go with the #4's, if you just have some 00 buck laying around well then if nothing else at least Mr. Coyote will know someone's in there.
