Browning BPS 12ga Choke/Load?

[EMDawg]

I just bought a BPS NWTF 12gauge with a 24" barrel. Any recommendations for choke and loads? Thanks in advance

Now with a shorter 24" barrel, I'm gonna say .670 Indian Creek or Pure Gold would be just about idea.

I have the Winchester Super X pump with the INV. +  24'' barrel and mine patterned 6's better with the .643 SSX than the .665 indian creek but sometimes guns are differen. allaboutshooting can give you some good advice. H e helped me out a lot.

guns are different

Each has its own personality.  Some are picky about chokes.  Some are picky about shells.  Some are picky about chokes "and" shells.  Most all can be made to shoot well.

I currently have 2 of those guns, a 3" and a 3.5" and have owned 4 with different barrel lengths and both length chambers, over the years. One was Invector and the others have been/are Invector+ guns.

I was fortunate enough to spend a day at SHOT with the design engineer for the Maxus, SX3 and other Browning guns and was able to pick his brain about those guns, Browning barrels and other matters.

I've spoken to him since about several matters, including choke selection for those guns and why they recommend what they recommend. It's quite interesting, to me at least and quite logical once you think about it and compare it to what is normally recommended for other over-bored guns.

I can't go into detail right now but will as soon as I have some time.

Thanks,

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I have one more question. Have any of you BPS owners ever had a problem with the factory trigger pull? Mine seems way too heavy. I would estimate that it's close to 8-9 #'s. The gun is brand new. Is there a way to lighten the pull without bringing it to a gunsmith?

Those guns have very heavy trigger pulls. They do lighten somewhat with use but I know of no other way to lighten it than to take it to a competent gunsmith. Frankly, I've just become used to the pull. I have used the BPS in competitive still target shooting and although the pull is heavy, it's without creep or "grit" so it works pretty well. I was able to use a BPS/SSX combo to win a World Championship a couple of years ago. The heavy pull actually helped me to concentrate on the fundamentals of shooting.
