Shot my new model 500 bantam today with the factory choke, federal 3", 1.5oz, #7's, @ 40 yards.  Had 137 in 10".  I deep cleaned the barrel prior to shooting.  Weather was bright blue skies, 70 degrees with no wind.  I was debating on buying another choke, but I don't see much reason to.

That will work! I hope to get something similar to that. Good luck...

Sounds to me like your ready for spring!! Just one question Pabigbear. Are you using a full choke or did it come with a turkey choke?     Thanks,cluck
