Default Long Range guns/loads?

What gun and load combo has provided the best and longest range performance for you?

Handloads/factory/custom shells?

Gun modifications or custom chokes?

What is the longest range you feel the gun/load combo is capable of?

Poult,

Who did your gun for you and what did you have them do?

I had a 1100 3" done some years ago that turned out pretty well. I now have a SBE and I'm interested in, "who did what" on your gun as I wouldn't mind getting my SBe done but smiths that can do a good job on those chrome bores isn't easy.

Hi Tate,

Who makes the Bossbuster choke? That is one I hadn't heard of.
