ya , had to read the box 4 times,  1 1/4 in a 12,  but 1 1/2 in their 3" 20. kinda like win hd 20 guage 5's.

Who knows.  might be a nice load  for  old 2 3/4" guns.

Any thoughts ?

I think those Flight Control wads need a more open choke, at least they did not pattern well out of my 870 with .660 Carlson. Good luck!

I use a regular Modified Choke.  I get nice patterns.

I've had very good luck with the factory full choke and the Federal FC wads

You never know, my Beretta 686 shot the 12 ga 3-1.675-7s much better with a Wright's .660 than it did with a Wright's .670.
