Indian Creek Choke Testing Results

We have done some testing with the Indian Creek Chokes. We are posting some of the results, however, we are still testing more chokes and guns. We have tried a variety of constrictions and have posted the best results from each gun that was tested. Please note that this does not mean that we recommend these chokes for each of these guns. We will not be making recommendations until all testing is done.

All Testing and results were shot at 40 yards and we counted pellets in a 10" circle.

20 GA. 3"

As many of you may know, we have had an extremely difficult time trying to get 20ga. hulls. We have now acquired and tested new hulls with our H276C and 2076C (1 7/16oz) ammunition. The new Cheddite hulls shoot even better than the Federal hulls that we were using.

H517T 12ga. 3.5" Hevi-Shot

We have also started loading the H517 in a new improved hull made by Fiocchi that has a harder plastic and a magnum primer. They are loaded identical to the H517 loads - just in a different hull. Both loads shoot the same in all of our testing.

Just A Quick Note:

1/14/10

A few of us have been sick this past winter and it has been extremely difficult for our customers to get in touch with us. We are now back up and running with more help once again. If you have any questions, you should be able to get through to us.

NEW LOADS - 2008

We have been in the process of developing some new loads for the 12ga. 3.5" shotgun. We have three new loads that are now available. Check our patterning page to see which load works best with your gun.

H517 - 2 7/16 oz. 1,200 fps is an incredible new load, but the recoil is just as devastating. This throws a wicked pattern. The guns that shoot this load reach pellet counts of 280 to 320 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards, with the recommended choke.

H51013A - 2 1/4 oz. 1,200 fps is an updated version of our popular H51013. This load has the same great patterns as our H51013, with ease of cycling in each gun.

H510C - 2 1/4 oz. 1.240 fps patterns like our H51013A, yet has added velocity for harder hitting.

All of our new loads are throwing unbelievable patterns and cycle through any gun we have shot.

NEW 20ga. 3" Hevi-Shot® Turkey Load

Nitro Ray does it again!! He has created a new 20ga. 3" (Item H276) 1-7/16 oz. 1,200 fps hevi-shot® turkey load that gives patterns never before seen with a 20ga. shotgun. If I didn't see him shoot the load myself, I wouldn't believe it. Here are some of the awesome results based on an average of a multitude of shots.

Beretta 3901 20ga. 3" using a Rhino .575 choke

Item H276 with #4x5x7 hevi-shot® at 40 yards in a 10" circle averaged 191 pellets.

Charles Daly (semi-auto) 20ga. 3" using a Rhino .575 2" extended choke
(we still need to test this with the standard Rhino .575 choke rather than the 2" head)

Item H276 with #4x5x7 hevi-shot® at 40 yards in a 10" circle averaged 156 pellets.
Item H276 with (new shot size) #4x5x6 hevi-shot® at 40 yards in a 10" circle averaged 116 pellets.

New 12ga. 3" Hevi-Shot® Turkey Load

Nitro Ray is developing a new 12ga. 3" (Item #H378I) 1-7/8 oz. 1,200 fps Hevi-Shot® turkey load. Available in 4x5x7 and 4x5x6 Hevi-Shot®. We are currently still testing this load. Listed are some of the early results that we are getting. We have many more guns and chokes to test, but this will give you an idea of our accomplishments with this new load.

Remington 11-87 12ga. 3" with a 21" barrel

Item H378I with #4x5x7 hevi-shot® at 40 yards in a 10" circle.

Jelly Head .665 Choke - 230 pellets (new shot size 4x5x6 gave 155 pellets)
Rhino 2" Extended Choke - 222 pellets
Mad Max .660 Choke - 211 pellets

Remington 870 12ga. 3" with a 21" barrel

Item H378I with #4x5x7 hevi-shot® at 40 yards in a 10" circle.

Jelly Head .665 Choke - 238 pellets (new shot size 4x5x6 still to be tested)
Rhino 2" Extended Choke - 213 pellets (new shot size 4x5x6 gave 186 pellets)
Mad Max .660 Choke - 220 pellets

The chokes listed are the three that have shown the best patterns out of those guns. We still need to test the Jelly Head .660 to get more of a comparison as well as trying a bigger diameter in the other chokes. As I stated earlier, these are just preliminary results to let you know the types of patterns that we are getting. We will keep you updated on new testing results as we go.

We will also be developing a new Predator Loads for 12ga. 3" & 3.5"
