I am considering trying a different choke on my longbeard 12 ga ,I was looking at the black diamond Indian creek .does anybody have experience with it ?I have had good luck with the stock Briley but always looking to improve. Thanks for your input
Mine really likes a sum toy. Not sure what size. What ever William suggested.

I do.
Both my SX2 and SX3 really like the IC Black Diamond Strike with Winchester LBXR shells. I used the 3.5" with 2 oz. of shot.
Didn't matter which shot size... 4's 5's or 6's.... the pattern uniformity was the same. I didn't even count the 6's in the 10" at 40 (turned out to be 43) yards. I just shook my head and kept saying "Holy CRAP !!"
I shot the 5's and 4's out to 60 yards just to see. 5's in the 10" @ 60 yds were 105. 4's in the 10" @ 60 were 65.
Farthest I shot a bird with that setup was like 37 or 38 yards and I chose the 6's. They were DEVASTATINGLY effective !!!
If you are using longbeards I love the Patternmaster Code Black Turkey choke. If you are using TSS, it is hard to beat the IC . I don't know why you would need TSS in a 12 gauge, but you pay for them so it's your call, lol. Z
I do use the lab r 3 1/2 2oz number 5s

I do believe you will be well-served by the Indian Creek tube. :icon_thumright:
Never shot TSS out of a 12 gauge so I can only comment on the LB out of my Browning with the Patternmaster. Only 2 chokes ever were used in it, the Patternmaster for turkeys and a Kick's High Flyer xFull for waterfowl. Z
