20 guage info

[possum#1]

I have been reading about the 20 guage guns on here and want to build one now. I have a Mossberg 505 that my son has outgrown. I had a full length synthetic stock that fit it. It has a 20" barrel and a Undertaker ported .582 choke in it. Any of you guys that have built a Mossberg do you think this gun will work ok? I am worried about the ported choke with the flight control wads in the Federal heavyweight #7 . What are your thoughts on this and any input would be great to. Also what chokes and restrictions would you recommend? This forum is going to cost me.

Thanks

With the short barrel I would consider a tighter choke  550-575. If you want a one choke deal the 562-5 Sumtoy using Fed HW #7 is my choice. Another is the SSX choke  that shoots the Federal HW #7s in 20 gauge with no problem. . Heck , there are many chokes out there but the one shell I like is the Fed 2 3/4 #7 or 3" #7 HW.
It makes most chokes turkey hunting machines at reasonable ranges.

I'd try the Sumtoy. I have an Indian Creek .555 and a Pure Gold .555 and .570 that none of them particularly care for that Fed HW #7 load. They are all 40 yard chokes max. Which is fine. But there are loads those chokes much much better. My son has a Charles Daly auto 20 youth that we have a HS Strut Undertaker choke in. It shoots a much more even pattern with that load than the chokes I run in my guns.

Ordered a Sumtoy choke today and some heavyweight #7. I will keep you informed on how it works.
