Thats good to know.  As far as a reasonably priced choke for a 20gauge I think they are excellent if anyone runs across one.  I'm happy with mine!

Correction!  I patterned my 20 yesterday and I'm using Winchester XX not HV's.  I was confused because they say SUPREME on the shell and Double X on the box. They are 1 and a quarter oz and they pattern very well!

Bought some of the Winchester Supreme XX #5's (X203XCT5) from Mal-Wart myself. At less than $0.80 per shell, I couldn't resist buying a box. Can't wait to pattern them!
Lead shooter for life! Know your gun, know your shell, pattern multiple times, know your effective distance, and practice the calls...and the Pb #4's will put 'em down everytime!

It all depends on your pattern and comfort further out. I have killed a couple at 50 with my 20 and Remington 5's, but no more. I will not shoot past 35 anymore because under field conditions I cannot judge to the .001 yard how far he actually is and as pumped and out of breath as I get about a gobbler, I can't keep it all together everytime past 35 with the 20.

Switched to a hevi choke .573 in my beretta 390 and the patterns are killer inside 40 yds with Win XX 5's. Big difference from my Pure Gold .570
