I had a choke that was in .665 constriction and it cracked. I contacted the manufacturer and they were out of the .665 but the gentleman asked me what ammo I was using (heavy-13 3.5" #6) and said that the .675 would work with that load better. I have patterned the the gun with this choke and it is a great pattern but that's not my question. I was sure that .675 would be more open than a .665 but on their web site it is talking about constriction. With .675 being a higher number would .675 of constriction be tighter?

The .675" and .665" refers to the exit diamter of the choke tube. Since .665" is smaller than .675", it is a tighter constriction. Also, tighter constriction does not necessarily mean tighter patterns. Often with hard shot such as H-13, TSS, Steel, too tight of choke constriction will produce uneven and more open patterns.

Indian Creek is top notch in my book. I used to shoot a Primos Jellyhead until I tried an IC. I've talked to Mike and Stuart and both are pretty good guys. I'd listen to what they recommend. They know what they are doing and I doubt they'd steer you wrong.
