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?
I don't use a full choke. but Modified and Improved. with my patterning the improved with BB was a better pattern than #2 and the opposite with the Modified, but overall pattern denisity was tight. I good start for you.
