Title: New set up
Post by: Fastcat on April 15, 2012, 08:32:58 AM
I just bought a BPS 10. It's a 24 inch stalker model.  It also has been magnaported and comes with a Hastings's non ported turkey choke (715 i think).  My plan is to set it up to shoot lead.  I hope to get  it to shoot as well or hopefully better than my 835.  I just like the overall quality of the Browning better.  I also just picked up 3 boxes of old federal 2.25 oz #6s. From a local hardware store.  Any advice on chokes or loads would be appreciated. Thanks!

If your talking about the flight control wads, throw them away they are junk. Other than that lets see a pic

Shoot em through a .670 choke if you can find one.  I have the same loads only in the 2 ounce 3.5" 12s  for my 835 and they'll put up 160 easy at 40 yards with the right choke in these overbored guns.

Amen to that
I can get excellent patterns out of lead 5's in the FC shells with the factory full choke in my 835
