I had 2 of them expand in my Benelli. First one I thought was a fluke. The second one i knew it was just junk cheap chokes. Never had any other brands expand before or after.

There's about two ways a choke could get stuck in a gun. One it was put in w nothing n left. Use some sort of anti seize to prevent this. Two the wrong thread pattern and it was forced in partway and you damaged threads. Realize there's lots of thread patterns.
Next you say you'll have bigger paper to shoot at once your targets get here. You don't need targets. I sorta consider them a waste. You could trace your hand and do a thanksgiving kids thing if you really want something close to a head. You could also buy one just anywhere and print copies or there's places to download em free.
As a kid I used old sheets of newspaper. Not sure if they still sell newspapers but Walmart has moving paper. It's cheap, maybe 2' square. Plenty big, today's loads ought to place most pellets on there. Remember to start close, finalize your sighting in close than check pattern from afar. Doing the opposite could result in a gun slightly off up close n cause close misses.  Any old box would work too. I'm an electrician so whatever tape is in my truck I stick a small piece to aim at n that's it. Havent bought a target in years. You only want a fairly dense yet imo somewhat forgiving pattern w limited holes in it.
Home Depot sells paper rolls too. As someone stated on another thread, something I never thought of, wrapping paper. It's all over for cheap or free after the holidays. You could use that too.
Just ideas for ya, hope you don't mind

What he said. Also, Walmarts sells brown rolls of paper (3" I think) in the crafts section. I get a roll and square it up and put ,as this fella said, an aiming point only. The reactive targets and turkey head targets are nice but not necessary. Also, I usually turn my target over and look at the back of them it seems to show me the pattern better. Good luck brother!!!
