3" #4 Buck in X-Full RemChoke

[Cedar Creek]

It's armadillo season here in SW Oklahoma, and I'm blessed with a rooted up lawn area already. My shotgun is a Remington 870 Express 3" Turkey Special with a 21" barrel I bought new in 1991; I have been using a modified choke tube and Remington #4 buckshot with good results, but I'm thinking of going to a tighter choke for a little more range. I could order a full choke tube, but I have the extra-full turkey choke- has anyone shot buckshot in the extra-full tube before?

Thanks!

Get Federal Flight control and use a light modified choke.

Too tight seems to have opposite effect.

Yep. Deforms the pellets and they fly everywhere.

Thanks for the input - I'll stick with my modified choke or try the IC choke tube.
