Just got my first shotgun - what choke should I start with for trap?

I just picked up a used Beretta A300 Outlander 12 gauge and want to try trap shooting this weekend. The gun came with a few factory chokes but I'm not sure which one to use. I'll be shooting at a local club from the 16 yard line with standard 7.5 shot target loads.

For trap from the 16 yard line, I'd start with a Modified choke - that's what most folks use for beginners. It gives you a good balance of pattern density without being too tight. If your Beretta came with factory chokes, look for the one marked 'M' or with three notches. That Modified choke will break targets consistently while you're learning. What specific chokes did your A300 come with?
