Campo - I'd go with the first pattern. It seems to have a good grouping on center, but a solid, even spray surrounding the kill zone, which will still kill even if you pull the shot. All told, any of those three patterns would work fine.

Don't be discouraged, because I can't get a #4 to pattern out of my gun with any choke I try. I get a better pattern with the 3" #4's over the 3.5" variety, but it's still not what I'd call "good."

I have both of those Mad Max Chokes, and I like them. I bought the hevi-shot one last year, but used it with regular high velocity loads. I killed a pretty nice bird at a pretty fair distance last year, so I guess it worked.

As we all know, shooting the blasted bird is the easy part. Finding a big one and getting him to stand still....at a reasonable distance....that's the hard part.
