Don't know about the shorter barrel (mine was 26") but Apex Ninja and a .570 Sumtoy in mine was 286/197 and beautiful, even pattern....

I have always had luck with Indian Creek Chokes. My buddy has the same fun and shoots an Indian Creek .562 and Apex #9 and it gets killer patterns. Also shot the Small Town Blend #7.5/9 really good also.

I am looking to get a 301 to tinker with this summer and really want to try Boss Tom #7s and the Kicks Gobbling thunder
