I have a browning silver NWTF edition 3.5"and I shoot the factory choke that I think is .645 don't hold me to that but it is tight and I have not had a chance to experiment a whole lot but I have had good luck with the federal heavyweight #5 with the flight control wad. I am wandering what has worked for the rest of you guys either shells with that choke our other choke and shell combos with that gun. any input would be appreciated.

Wow that choke seems really tight to be shooting the fed heavy weight threw... I'd double check that out...

I could be wrong.I work out of town and it took me a while to check it, it was not stamped on choke. I think it is very tight though.wandering if maybe I should try one that's a little more open, does anyone have any suggestions?

I shoot a Browning 3 inch B-80 with a Hastings .640 choke...It doesn't like heavy loads...I dropped down to 1 5/8 loads and it does great...Found out the cheap Remington Nitros do very well...

I've even tried it with high brass 1 1/4 loads in 2 3/4 shells and wouldn't be too handicapped out to 35 yards with that...That might be my load when I get past 65...
