If you are using steel shot Full choke is a NO-NO. The constriction is too tight and you can ruin your barrel. Read your owners manual as it will guide you to what choke to use for the different shot types.

Modified is the Safe way to go with steel and actually I am using Improved Cylinder (IC) in mine as it patterns best.

I purchased Briley extended chokes as they are easy to see what choke is in the gun and are knurled for easily removal.
