[rock54]

guess i am old fashion in that i have a 1187 with 26in barrel, just to throw it out there,

what constrictions on chokes are workn best for you guys, lookn at a dead 30yd gun, thanks russ

What are you shooting for shells ? at 30yds you can get a decent lead load to work just fine. I got real good patterns with the Remington lead only super full, trulock, Carlson's 570-575. that was out of a 26: barrel. If you decide to go with HTL loads those chokes will work really good with those also.

i shoot both the 2 3/4 and 3 in lead loads, with a IC .555, i have just heard the longer barrels like

the more open chokes, so thats why i am askn?  i have a gobblin thunder .560, but i havent tried

it yet, thanks russ

Got the same gun / barrel length . Try a Carlson's .575 non ported with Federal HW 7 . Should put you where you want to be . I average about 175 hits in a 10" circle at a lased 35 yards.

The 1187 is a good gun but can be finicky when it comes to the choke.  Most like the 562 our choke (555-560 others).  Now seen a few you would been better with a box of rocks and sling shot.   We bump them up and they show out then.  I seen one few weeks ago that shot the factory Mod choke.  Now it did get better but it all what you look for.  That gun like the Mag Blends best.
