Choke tubes...Which to use when?
Hi there,
I just bought a Benelli Nova 12ga and I need some advice about what choke to use when...here are the situations i'll need to fulfill...I need a choke to shoot slugs out of, I need one for hunting ducks/geese over decoys, One for turkeys, and one for ducks/geese as they fly by. Which holds a tighter pattern...steel...lead...or heavi-shot? I have a full choke that came with the gun but it says full*lead on it so does that mean i shouldn't use steel out of it? I also bought a choke but i forgot what it's called its .705 (whatever that means) but the guy at cabelas said that its what he uses for ducks and geese with steel shot. Are the numbers on the side like .705 or whatever how much its being constricted? can i shoot slugs out of the barrel without a choke? I always just used my modified in my old remington 870 for everything from slugs to ducks to grouse to trap shooting...ANY information about chokes in general would be greatly appreciated!
