OK. Its 5 weeks to dove openner. Whats your 12 ga. dove choke of choice? I used a skeet in my 391 last year with good success. But that & a full is all I have since a back bore job was done. Was thinking of a .015. Thanks in advance.

I have owned and used the same gun all my life. A Remington Wingmaster 12ga Mag with a fixed full choke. It is all I use for everything.

I use a Trulock SKT II chock...stumbled upon it, and haven't changed since...
It flat out folds birds...close or far!

Early season, Mod = #7-1/2, 8, 9
Late or windy Mod = #6, 7-1/2
All low brass

I always use Mod - #71/2 in 12 or 20
IC would be useful if they are coming into roost or at a pond, someone said they would use IC once they start flying higher but that doesn't make much sense to me, then maybe I would go to a full choke. But if they get too close they would be mauled

I bought Trulock Precision Hunter Skeet 1 and Skeet 2 (Light Modified) chokes for my Benelli Vinci. I anxious to try them out on September 1st!
Agree with J PECK...always a kicks Modified, if your missing "close" shots. Practice shooting "close" skeet, because a modified can do everything if your good with it.

A Carlson Modified choke in a Beretta is a DEADLY combination!!!
Cylinder and Fiocchi #7 Speed Steel
I shoot a FabArms Silver Lion in 12 ga. I have it choked with Briley chokes (light modified on the top and modified on the bottom) and I never change them for upland or waterfowl.

My ol' side-by-side has fixed Imp Mod (Left Barrel) and a full (Right Barrel) - it patterns well and kills doves (I rarely bring it out), but usually I use my 835 Ulti-mag with either an extended IC or a factory Mod. I use Rio game loads in 3 1/4 dram #7.5 shot and they seem to work really good in both guns...
