mo_hunter Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have a charles daly field hunter 20 gauge VR MC semi auto for my kids. I'm having trouble finding a choke for a 20 gauge that can shoot hevi shot. I bought a primos tightwad off ebay that's made for remington stated also fits charles daly. I thought a remington choke worked in a charles daly. Anyway no time left now Youth season is in 2 more days. Does anyone Know what choke will work in this gun for hevi shot?? Can I use the factory full choke with hevi shot???? I'll need to pattern tommorrow night any help would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry264 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Re: Charles Daly choke ???????????????????? mohunter, as per charlesdaly.com site, top banner, "support", find frequently asked questions, you will find where the Rem. Choke does indeed fit that particular gun. But, I don't think they are approved for hevi-shot, which by the way isn't made anymore. There are several brands of high density shot available. Rem. now loads Wingmaster HD, which has replaced hevi-shot, is more choke friendly, and the pellets are actually round. From what I've read, hevi-shot does not like to be choked a great amount, just doesn't pattern correctly. The new HD shells will take more "choking". The smaller the shot size=the more choke they like. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Re: Charles Daly choke ???????????????????? WOW! Sorry Terry, but my actual experience is totally opposite of most of your post. You are correct about the Remington choke tube fitting and the smaller the shot usually the tighter you can go though. Hevi Shot is still being made and sold. Granted there are other options available but its still out there. I shoot Hevi Shot in full and super full choke tubes in my Remington. I shoot a 0.660" in my Rem 12 ga with 3.5" mags of Hevi Shot. No damage to the gun or the tube. Mo_Hunter, Nothing like waiting till the last minute is there? do you have the Hevi Shot ammo? I would try it with your full choke and see how it shoots.

terry264 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Re: Charles Daly choke ???????????????????? Sorry AJ, guess I was just going by the rem.com site after reading about their new wingmaster hd load and how much better it performs than the "last generation" hevi-shot. Also noticed they don't list it in their shotgun ammo on this site anymore. They also talked about it being easier on barrels and chokes and would accept "choking" better. Maybe I assumed too much.

snapper Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Charles Daly choke ???????????????????? Hevi 13 and other brands are still being made...however, I think Remington hevi-shot is no longer being made. There is some still out there floating around...but you better snag it up if you like shooting it. Yeah, a Rem choke will fit a Charles Daly gun...and I shot 3 1/2" 12ga. through a factory Rem. full turkey tube with great results and no damage to anything. Your experience may be different...its not recommended to shoot hevi-shot through a "lead" only tube...so use your best judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to find a undertaker 20 gauge choke for hevi shot a week before the season at basspro with no luck. Looked on ebay and didn't find 1 on there either. So I bought a tight wad that stated it fit Rem. and charles daly and had it 3 days before the season. Choke didn't fit the barrel. So I shot it thru a full choke at 25 yards it patterned well.
