Not for 00 Buckshot. Full and X-full are too tight for big ol' buckshot to get out of the tube cleanly. Smaller buckshot like #4, BB, T, etc can fit out of smaller chokes, but the big 00 buckshot needs room to breathe, otherwise the pellets get "squished", causing some of the pellets to go sailing, leaving "flyers" outside of the pattern and big gaps INSIDE the pattern.
Check this thread out for more info about shotgun buckshot choke and load combinations.
