RE: buckshot and chokes, what to do or not to do
I've always gotten better patterns from #1 buck and it's still .30 cal in full and modified chokes.Deer were dead out to 60 yards out of a Win 1200 full/28".The gun always jammed if you put 3 in it so it was loaded with two rounds.They had a habit of releasing two shells back out of the mag when you went to cycle the action.Got rid of it and got an 870...........Harold
