Shotgun chokes for dummies?

[Cdn-Redneck]

What is the difference between the chokes that came with my Benelli Supernova and after market chokes. Is a choke that has a .710" constriction the same whether it is factory or aftermarket. I have been using imp. cyl. With good success so far.

If you have never shot a goose using a paternmaster code black in that super nova - you really have no idea what you are missing.......

Aftermarket chokes are held to higher tolerances usually than stock chokes. One thing I have found after patterning 2 exact same guns with after market chokes is how they handle different loads .Exact same guns with 5 identical factory loads mine liked Kent my partners worked way better with winchester the results were quite astonishing, 30% difference in pattern density, worth the money you decide:confused:

That is the info I have been looking for. I was more curious if it was all marketing or fact. So far I have had good luck with my gun much better than what I was shooting. I just got my Benelli a couple weeks ago and haven't patterned it just took it hunting and have been hitting way more ducks with it.

dutch is right patterning is worth the effort.i was shooting what my gun hated!!

I am going to try a few different loads and see what happens. I have just been shooting the 1550fps 1 1/16oz winchester xperts so far. I haven't changed because I have been hitting ducks with these ones. Going to try a couple different brands and see what happens.
