Title: BPS Micro 20ga. Choke & Shot?
Post by: 3Bucks on February 21, 2016, 11:08:49 PM
I have a lefty so I got him a BPS Micro 20. I cannot find much information on what choke and shot works the best in the BPS. Someone out there has to have experience with a Micro.  I do not want to reinvent the wheel. Thanks for the help.

Hevi choke and hevi13 using 7's or fed hw7's. Or Sumtoy using either load.  I get in the 170-180 range with the hevi choke at 40 from a 26" bps. Good luck

Thanks CR. This little gun has a 22in. barrel. Don't know what difference that 4 inches makes. I guess it would cut down on the range.  Maybe 35 yards instead of 40? He got his first bird last year at 12 years old using a ground blind to prop up my 12ga. with a 3 1/2. The bird was at 35 so we decided not to use his NWTF Little Jake single shot 20. He only weighs 80 lb pounds this year. He can take the recoil but can not hold up a 12ga. up very long. He love his new gun.

Browning makes a well put together pump. Of all my shotguns I think browning has the best barrel quality, both of the ones I own bore's shine like a mirror. The 4" inches won't cost you any range at all. Even though I don't own your gun, I'd bet any turkey choke in the .555 - .575 range would do good with HTL.

I've got the same gun for my lefty fiancé (I'll probably use it more than her). Has a 24" barrel. I've got a .585 tru lock non ported choke that I'm going to shoot 3" hevi weight 7's out of once the weather warms up a bit.
