Title: Choke Advice For Winchester 1300
Post by: Turkeyman62 on March 06, 2016, 10:04:13 PM
Looking for advice on a good choke for a Winchester 1300 .  Looking for an extra full don't know what size that would be.  I don't use hevi shot loads or nitros, Copper plated buffered is good for me .
Thanks
Mike

My cousin had great luck with a .660 Jelly Head in his 1300

I run a Jellyhead .660 in my 1300 with Hevi-13 #7.  When I shot lead I was using a Hastings .660 and #5 Winchester Supreme copper plated.  Its a good starting point for you.

What size barrel ? I have a comp n choke .655 in one and an Indian creek in the other. I shoot 3" #6 in both.

I've run a bunch of different chokes in the 1300.  Great guns! Fantastic results from the HS XT series chokes to high end brands.  Almost everything seems to pattern well in them.  Kind of like the 835.  They just shoot.  I tried the Carlson' s long beard xr choke last year on a whim and boy was I IMPRESSED!   Shot standard pb loads, long beards, hevi and even the federal heavyweight loads phenomenally well.  The long beards were insane.  The best part was it didn't cost what my high end chokes did.  About 40 bucks...

Best 2 chokes I tried so far in my 1300 were: 1) Rhino .660 choke tube with Nitro Co. 4x5x7 tri-plex load of hevi-shot. 2) Patternmaster Code Black .665 constriction using the new Longbeard shells in either #5 or #4. Sticking with #4's for the added kinetic energy. These choke tubes aren't cheap, both just at or above $100.00 each.

I have Comp-n-Choke 655 in one 22" barrel, an Indian Creek 665 in on 18" barrel, and a Winchester 670 in the other 18" barrel. They all shoot good enough with Winchester HV 6's and Hevi 7's.
