Any suggestions on choke/shell combinations for the new A5's?

I have a SX3 NWTF I think they are similar, I put a Briley .665 choke on it and shot longbeard #5's.  40 yard pattern was so tight and I don't have a more open choke so I'll just continue to shoot supreme HV #5 shot.  My SX3 came with a .655 on it.  If you like tight patterns and lead shot you will like longbeards.

JEB's makes a choke for that gun, with the new style choke, that is getting good reviews. I'd shoot the Hevi-13 standard load with 2 oz. of #6 shot.

Thanks,

The 675 rang in that gun shoots good.  We have tested the long beards with 3 and 31/2 and the number 4's are nasty.   :anim_25:

I use the Kicks .675 in mine.  Mine is the 3" gun that came out before the 3 1/2".  Did real well with Nitros 4x5x7 2oz. loads.  Also shot the 3" mag blends well.  But I sure would like to see what it would do with the 3" Hevi #6s.
