Default Can a full choke pattern better?

I patterned my Benelli m2 and shot with a full choke and my primos jellyhead. The full choke patterned 100 times better at 30 Yds. I was shooting Winchester supreme elite 3" #5. Should I just go with the full or try another choke. I had plenty of pellets in the kill zone and īt was a nice even pattern. Thoughts?

It just depends on the particular gun as far as what combo it will shoot best. I have a .665 constriction Carlson choke tube that shoots much better patterns at all distances than a tighter .645 one, so the latter doesn't get used. If I were you, I would stay with the full choke if you are satisfied with the pattern and number of pellets it's putting in the kill zone. You may want to go out to 40 yards to see what it will do if you haven't already. Just don't shoot further than what it will put a decent number of shot in the kill zone.

I would keep what you got if you are satisfied with it. Throw some hevi shot magnum blend in there thats a great combo

If you like the pattern with the full choke @ 30yds. .. Use it...Just keep your shots @ 30yds. or less.
