Default Turkey Choke Tubes

I need info on choke tube for my Browning 10 ga. I'm using a .680 Hastings choke tube with #5 Winchester shells and at 30yds it starts to break out from there but from 10yds. to 30yds. its great.I thought someone out there could shine some light on the subject.I have a red dot Burris scope on the gun so I know the pattern is where I,m aiming.

While there are a lot of Choke Tube Manufacturers out there; I've ALWAYS had good luck with HastingsĀ®; ANY GUN/ANY GAUGE.

if you are not getting a killing pattern at 40-45 yards with a turkey load,you have the wrong tube dia. or your tube likes another shot size or shell brand.i don't own a 10 ga. but can take turkeys at 45-50 yards with ease with my rem 870 exp super mag or browning a500g.i use hevishot 4s in both guns.my browning had a 28" barrel that carlsons chokes cut down and installed a .670 dia. truchoke turkey tube.the rem shoots a star dot or rem super full which is .665 dia.i would try different shot size and brands and if the tube you have does not produce a decent pattern beyond 30 yards,i would buy a different tube.also,i have found that more shot in the load does not necessarily produce more dense patterns.in other words ,i get a better pattern in my guns with 1 5/8 oz than 2 oz of shot.go figure!

I'd give a couple a try at least.
