Default RE: briley chokes

I have a briley x-full in my nova. I have always bow hunted turkeys until I moved to south Alabama, where there are fewer turkeys. Anyway, a buddy bought me the briley choke and I felt obligated to use it this season. I bought about 10 different loads and patterned it. I got as good a pattern as many of those othersI have seen on this website. I ended up using the Federal flight control 3" with # 6's. The Winchester Supreme 3 1/2" # 5's and the Remington Hevi shot # 6's in the 3 1/2" were tied for 2nd. All had over about 20 shots in the spine and brain at 30 yards. That seems fine for an old bow hunter who is used to trying to get them to 20 yards anyway.
