codyhuntsaz Report post Posted March 30, 2023 The shotgun I have has an HS Strut turkey choke in .695. Do I need a more constricted choke? Thinking I’d like to shoot 45 yards max. I’ll be shooting Winchester Longbeard XR 12 g 3” #5 shot. I’ll be patterning it soon and wondering if I should grab a tighter choke before I pattern it.

IA Born Report post Posted April 1, 2023 If that's the HS Strut Undertaker, you'll be fine. I have that in my turkey gun (12g), my daughter's (20), my son's old youth gun (20g), and his new full-size turkey gun (12g) and it patterns everything excellently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
