I use 1 ounce of #8 from 16-27.  I change chokes as I move back from the 21.  LM from 16-20, M from 21-24, f from 26 to the back line.  This is also a personal preference.  Try diffeerant loads, shot and chokes to see how they effect your shooting. Read More

How To Tell Choke Size?

I recently bought a new shotgun with built in chokes and I can't figure out the choke sizes. What...

Most manufacturers should indicate the choke constriction somewhere on the barrel. It should at least be listed on the data information on the box if the gun you purchased came with the original box. It may not be spelled out but in some type of symbol... Read More
