Iam planning on patterning several different loads with the modified it came with then figuring out the best choke to buy and pattern it after i buy it. I'll probably be patterning at 25,40, and 50 yards. I want something that will give me the range to reach a goose at 50 yards.

I always thought waterfowlers used full chokes for more range, but i have been hearing what was said in the replies. Apparently some choke tube manufacturers call their modified choke longe range steel shot chokes. What constriction should i be looking for.

Also i talked to someone who said that ported chokes would reduce recoil but also reduce the power of the shot. Is this true?
