Anyone have a short barrel favorite choke load combination they would share? I have a 19 inch barrel and would enjoy hearing from you.

Been using one since the first year they were introduced...hastings .655 choke and federal 2oz. #5's.... kicks like two mules these little 1300's and the are half semi....just push forward ! They usually blow the shell out on their own..
Mine does. Kicks like a mule and auto ejects lol.

Hey Dave,
That is a very short barrel. I'd recommend the SSX and some 3" Hevi-13 "Bronze" shells with 2 oz. of #6 shot. You may also want to try some of the #7 shot for a more dense pattern.
I have a very short barreled Fox SxS and I have also used the Wright's #3 chokes with that gun with good success, with those same shells.
Thanks,
Clark
just got a 1300 with 22" barrel. got a sumtoy choke .670 to shoot 3" FED HW#7. haven't shot it yet. waiting on my FFIII which is on order.
my 1300 has the 22" barrel. Shooting a 3" Heavy 13 7's through a Pure Gold choke tube = 206 pellets in a 10" circle at 40 yards.
My 1300 has a 21" barrel, and I am shooting a Jellyhead .660 with Hevi 3-2-7. I am averaging 270 in a 10" circle at 40 yards.

Beautiful patterns guys. I have a pg on the way from bingo I'm waiting till it comes.to shoot my hvy 3-2-7.
give goldhunter a pm he hunts with one
I have a 22" barrel 1300 and with Winchester 3" XR #6 shot and a trulock .665 it will do 145 in a 10" circle at a measured 40 yards. With nice even pattern of the other shot around that.
Thanks for your replies . Dave
Im shooting a first year model NWTF 1300 with a JH 660 and hevi#7 2oz. and get a fine 40 yard pattern. I shot some #7 heavyweight 1-5/8 federal last weekend even with the slotted choke and got a nice even pattern but not near as dense as the hevi. My 10" counts ran from 190-208 with the JH choke.
BTW I found the Federal fc wad at about 30 yards and it seemed undamaged by the ported JH choke.
I get 185 to 200 pellets in the 10" at 40yds. from a GT .655 shooting Hevi 2oz. 6's. Nice even pattern and not too tight at 25 yards, about the size of a volleyball. My gun (22" barrel) prefers the 6's over the 7's.

Thats pretty good!
Mine with the 22" barrel and Undertaker .675 do well with the Hevi 3/2/6 as well. Averages 170.
Thanks for the help guys. I put some heavy #7 in my 19 inch barrel with a kicks .655 choke and average 220 in the 10 @ 40 yards . This will be my go to this spring :)
Good job. That will get it done for sure!
