shotgun chokes

[b53hunt 15]

which size choke would be best suited to firing larger buck shot cartridges to keep the grouping as tight as possible and without damaging the shot or barrel regards benji

What range,,,,,,,,,,, what shot,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what load

[b53hunt 15]

30m range 00 buckshot 64gram 3 1/2 magnums

Assuming your pushing lead down the tube, id go for 1/2 ( mod ), 3/4 and full with that load will deform the outer pellets so giving you a high percentage of fliers, best thing is have a bash on a pattern plate and see what you get,,,,,, 00buck sounds like your after Charlie,,,,, at 30 yards id use Alphamax in BB, BB has the power to kill a fox out to 50yds plus you got a far better pattern, with the BB id use full or 3/4 . the secret to shotguns isnt to push as much lead down the tube as you can ,,,,, its pattern that does the job, a good even pattern of BB at 40 yards is a more consistant killer than the haphazard spread of 00buck

TBH, I wouldn't go for AAA for fox, as to my mind, the shot is really a bit oversized for the quarry and you increase the chances of a big gap and a wounding shot, I use 50gm BB 3" loads in mt O/U and I have dropped a fox dead in it's tracks at a paced out 37m with 1/4 choke, BBs will give you a much denser pattern at any given range, I'd think 40m is a responsible max range for fox, anything firther and I'd think you might end up mis judging the range in the heat of the moment and wounding him, he's allways going to be there another day and there'll always be another chance to get him....
