Most of the time, I'm shooting a modified tube. Sometimes early in the season, I'll shoot an improved cyl.

 

[6mm06]

For years I used a modified choke in both 12 and 20 guage and had good success. I've used full chokes to many times, but seems for the type of shooting I do, a modified works well. I also have used more 7.5 shot than any other.

That's just the way it works for me.

I use a 20ga with improved cylinder and 1oz of #6's. Most shots are at decoying birds.

 

[GC]

Light modified in the bottom barrel and improved modified in the top barrel with a good heavy trap load of #7 1/2's has been a good combo for me.

LM is my favorite for everything from dove to pheasant in my 12's,16's,and 20's.

I'm in the boat with 6mm and GC. I use a modified choke and a good trap load of 7 1/2 or 8 shot.

I have taken one with a turkey choke and a load of #5 turkey shot. If you can hit them it sure makes a black cloud! Only got one but my day turkey hunting was over anyway.

I use a IC in the bottom and LM in the top with 1 1/4 oz 7 1/2's with the OU but just IC when shooting the auto.

you want to be carefull with a full choke......your still shooting a slug at 30 yards...

I shot one today over 50yards with a Mod choke and #8

i've had better luck with improved cylinder or modified in both my mossberg pump 12 ga and my franci I-12 autoloader. both the factory choke and custom chokes in ic or m put more birds on the ground than factory full or custom full choke. i typically shoot winchester AA in 7 1/2 or 8. this is a fast load and patterns well in my guns.

Over at crow busters, there is a FAQ that answers most of these question and more. It's a good read.
