I just got off the phone with Indian Creek Choke Tubes.
To make a long story short, I have a Remington 1100 that I will be using TSS #7 shot in for this year. They said that their model number 2 choke (0.665" constriction) works best for that size shot with that barrel. (0.739" I.D.)
So it will be here probably by Saturday. Easier to order it from them than to run around looking for one.

esshup let us know how it patterns ! Will do. I will be rolling my own, and still need to get a few things from either Ballistic Products or Precision Reloading. Bullseye gave me 5 or 6 Federal 3" hulls that had a roll crimp so I can use those. I have enough shot for 16-18 shots. |

They recommended one for his daughter's 20 gauge shooting Longbeard XR and the patterns were not great. They let him trade in that tube for the next constriction down (0.555") and it was a night and day difference in the patterns at 35 yards!! They seem to be a great company to deal with to get things right! |

They seem to be a great company to deal with to get things right! Thanks! I will keep that in mind. When I talked to them the lady said that the .665" was recommended by Apex and another maker of TSS shotshells, I asked specifically for a choke that would work for TSS shot with a bore dia. of .739". The plan was to use a Remington barrel, and thread it for Browning Invector Plus choke tubes because I have a full set of Briley Invector Plus chokes - all the way from a rifled "spreader" choke to XFull, so I could try different constrictions without having to buy a bunch of choke tubes. Well, that plan failed because the Remington barrel was too thin. BUT, if anyone wants a barrel threaded for Browning Invector Plus choke tubes, talk to bullseye69. He's got the reamer/tap for those chokes now.  When I was doing a bunch of choke tube testing for shooting long range clay birds, (patterning the gun at 60 yds. with #6 shot) I found that a light full choke (0.030" constriction) patterned better than a 0.035" or 0.040" constriction choke did. This is in my Browning Citori O/U with a certain load. Most guys don't realize how finicky shotguns are. I found that by just changing shot size, or changing the load would change the pattern density (% wise). i.e. what choke worked best with #6 shot didn't pattern the same with #5 or #4 shot....... |
