What is the tightest choke that works with Long Beards? Have a Bansner .645 sleeved 870, been using Thugs #6's getting decent patterns but not fantastic. Do the Long Beards throw better #'s with larger shot because of the wad?

it's supposedly the resin...I shot the #5's into 197 in 10" at 40 yards through a .660 interesting to see what the tighter choke would do
shoot first, measure spurs later

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
