I have a Remington 870 12ga with a 26" barrel on it and making it a dedicated predator gun. I have shot #4 federal blue box 3" buckshot at 30 yards.These shells have a wad in it unlike most buckshot so maybe that will help with patterns? I think there was 5 pellets in the paper plate. I know I could get a tighter group but what choke tube and size would you go with? I been looking at kicks howler, kicks buck kicker (I think that is it), and Carlson dead coyote. I did read the above sticky but I would like to hear from you guys and gals. I also am putting a set of tru glo sights on the shotgun to help out with the patterning and of course low light. I am new to this so if some educating needs to be brought up I am all ears!
 
I have the Carlson's "Turkey .660" choke in my 870 predator shotgun...someone else suggested it and I tried it. Really gives a great pattern. It is not the fullest choke, I think they offer one that is a step tighter but that one don't seem to pattern as good as the .660" As I understand it, the Dead Coyote choke is designed to be used with the Dead Coyote ammo. It may prove to be the better choke, but I don't know how much better you could get/want. Best of luck.
