looking to carry my 20 ga. this year what do you guys use choke and load wise for inside of 30 yds.

Spring Creek Calls

A full choke and a heavy load of lead 6's should get the job done inside of 30 yards.

I shoot a full choke with tss as my first shell and my two backups are lead 6's either way you go tss or lead 6's or both like me it'll work good

What kind of pattern at 40 yds

Kypossum

This is the only picture I have of the pattern. It shot high and right on this target at 41 yards.

Not bad.

A good quality sporting clays load with 7.5s will hammer them inside 30.

I'm looking at buying a few different brands of 3" 6 and 7.5 high quality trap and pheasant loads for this season. Most of my hunting is in the woods and shots are less than 30 yards
