WLB Choke Evaluation now available on line

[allaboutshooting]

You can now take a look at my recent evaluation of 32 different chokes thorough 6 different guns with the 3" WLB shells.

The chart left off the other 2 chokes in the 83/935 thread pattern. My fault, in error I did not include it. The Mossberg X-Factor was 147 & the SSX was 186 with 0 gaps of 2" or more.

i hope you find the information helpful.

Thanks,

I didn't realize Winchester was in the soft drink business

You will have to excuse Clark, he has been a bit punch drunk from all the recoil of testing lots of turkey loads lately.

I'm sure that hasn't helped.

All joking aside though, it's a good write up and should benefit allot of people in choosing shell/choke combos.  Thanks for sharing.

I am quite surprised by the Crio/Hevi choke combo.  In my sbe2 I get close to 200 with a nice even spread.  Either way, thanks for all of your hard work.

You're welcome. It was a "project" and then followed by the same evaluation with Hevi-13, a much less intensive evaluation of the 3rd Degree shells and then the "New" Magnum Blend shells, I'm ready to hunt some turkeys!

It's really important to note the temperatures when the evaluations of the WLB & Hevi-13 took place. None were higher than the mid 50s and most were in the low 50s. Cool, dense air is just not conducive to high numbers but is more realistic of temperatures that many of us encounter in the early spring and fall turkey seasons. Currently, for example, it's 53 degrees and wet where we are.

I hope the information is helpful.

Thanks,
Clark
