With the three gauges on opening day, I would say choke is more important than gauge as 7/8oz in 20 and 1 oz in 16 and 1 or 1 1/8 in 12 will do the job. I like open (cyl or IC) and tight (IM) in a double gun for doves. The 16 is my favorite for doves. Just right. Opening day doves are often so small you feel sorry that you killed them. Pretty dumb too but they get smart quickly.
