STRUTSTOPPER XTREME CHOKE TUBE .643 to tight???
I have an 870 12ga 3" and I am wondering if the Truglo SSX .643 will be to tight and not give good patterns?
If you have used this combo or if you have used this choke what are your thoughts on it both good and bad.
I know each gun is different but I like to get all the input I can.

I'd test it with a few different loads if you can, but .643 sounds like "blown pattern" maker to me, out of a 12ga. I think the tubes that have won many still target shoots were .670-.660. BTW...I would not recommend shooting a slug out of a choke that tight.
I'd look into lengthening the forcing cone of your barrel if you want to go that tight, but...it'll be cheaper to find a choke tube that throws a good pattern with the barrel you have.
Good luck this spring!
