Title: Choke/ammo results
Post by: scottprice on April 06, 2020, 07:20:08 PM
I have a 20ga Weatherby SA-459 on the way. I'm going to give the factory provided choke a shot but like most things that are part of a package, I don't have overly optimistic expectations.

I'll likely be shooting Longbeard XR, but possibly try some Hevi-Shot so I can get some tungsten in there. Shooting TSS isn't on my radar at the moment because I don't shoot past 40 yards

Let me know what you guys are using for 20ga chokes, especially if you have this particular gun and use those loads. I'm new to all the choke stuff. Previously I shot a Stevens 311 with fixed chokes

Sumtoy 562 and if you can find Heavy wt 7s you will be golden. You could also try the long beards as well.

I run the Trulock 560 and HW#7.  The factory choke was not much with anything I tried.

trulock has impressive reviews and an easy to swallow price tag too

And fine folks.  I will always either get Trulock or Sumtoy because of the customer service.

I have had great all around results with Carlson chokes. I use them in my Remington, Benelli, and Baretta. For the price, hard to beat.
