everything I have read says don't shoot buckshot in a turkey choke. My turkey tube is unreal but I'd hate to blow off the end of my barrel with buckshot through it.

I HAVE the Remington 1100 full choke gun. It is the best I've ever seen, but it is being handed down to my son and not made anymore in 3"/30"

I get the range limitations however I think a .30 caliber lead ball in the form of 5 or 6 of them hitting the vitals is great power at 60 yards...if the gun can do it.

How about a choke tube I can try in my 500 to tighten stuff up a bit? Sugestions. Maybe I'l buy annother accuchoke bbl for deer, tub and red dot it. then I still have the regular smooth bore for doves/ducks/geese. I like my 500. THe only down side is the slide is noisy but I can deal with that.
