Hey, all;
O.k., i have a Stevens single .410 that came with a turkey choke (has "ef" printed on the side, i'm presuming that means extra full.". Now, i've heard it both ways, that you CAN fire 00 or 000 through it as long as the pellets pass through (which they do, i dissected a shell to make sure). The shot cup and wad however do not, or at least i cant push them through the choke without putting some serious arm on them. I did fire it once when i was sighting in with some 7.5 shotshells, and it seemed really wide on the target; only 2 of the 3 pellets made it on the paper at 40 yards. So i thought it prudent to get the input from people who've been doing this for a while. Will the wad and cup just get forced out, or am i risking damage or even an explosion? I plan on buying an i.c. choke if i can find one, but in the meantime is this safe? Main reason i'm asking is theres 4 coyotes that patrol around my brothers house, and he's asking for help. Thanks in advance for your advice!
