Default RE: buckshot and chokes, what to do or not to do
ORIGINAL: 2robinhood

I have a Remington 870 that I have been shooting OO & OOO buckshot with a 28" barrel with a extra full choke tube. I tried all chokes and this one did the best pattern. I have been shooting it for many years and have killed many deer with this set up.
The Question is :
I just purchased a Mossberg 935 with a 28" barrel. I also purchased choke tubes. Is it a wise thing to shoot buckshot out of a Extra full or the Ultra full ( turkey ) chokes? I know that the 935 is a overbore gun, and don't want to ruin anything by doing this.
It is STRANGE that you get good results from buckshot fired in a tight choke, as the opposite is usually the case-BS usually works better inb a cylinder or improved cylinder choke-one that does the least to smack the pellets out-of-round. However, the only way you really know what's best in a particular gun is to shoot it and see.....

Buckshot, being made of lead, is considered lead shot.......
