Yup...believe it or not I've yet to shoot a steel shot shell at anything.....I've been hunting in Canada and allowed to use lead but now I will start using steel for waterfowl.....what is the recommended choke for using steel shot for geese and for ducks...

All I currently use is a modified. Some people like using an improved cylinder for decoying ducks. Hope this helped a bit.

Vapodog,
I have a Truglo Adj. Titanium choke on my 835 Ulti Mag. I think it is the best. All chokes in one
and any shot you can shoot thru it.

Out of my 870 and 11-87 I use .
For close work (decoying ducks and geese) I use a Briley extended IC
For longer range I use Briley extended Light Mod
For pass shooting I use a Briley Extended Mod
Patteren your gun / choke /shells
Every gun and choke are a little different
In patterening shells over the years I have seen patterens that a flock of ducks could fly thru.
Extended tubes produce better patterens ,some times with lots less choke.
