The best hunting pattern I found was Rem choke with a extra full .687. Pattern was 160's with Win LB 5's. Just couldn't depend on a consistent pattern. Not sure if the open choke was causing it or the shell.


A guy made me a choke once from and old Hastings .665.  He put 3 rings in the choke like a SumToy and the exit diameter he made to .687".  I would consistently shoot 100 in the 10" and was even through 16" @ 40yds with the Win HV 1.75oz #4's.

In one of my more brilliant moves I sold that choke, never have figured out why.
