28 ga Repro

[Wilmurt]

What should the constrictions be for 28ga. Repro 28" M/F barrels? Briley choke chart says M/F should be .015/.024. Had my 28ga. 28" M/F barrels measured and the results were right .020 and left .045. Isn't this tight? I previously mentioned somewhere in this post I was obliterating pheasants over a pointing dog with the right Mod barrel under 20 yards. Could this tight choke be why or what am I missing? What measurements should 28" M/F barrels have?

My 28ga. 28" Repro's factory-original M/F chokes are .014/.034. I love them for 5-Stand and Sporting Clays, but aren't my first choice for much of the other close-range shooting that I do, such as grouse/woodcock and Skeet. For grouse/woodcock I'm shooting the 26" IC/M at .006/.016 and for Skeet I find the 26" Q1/Q2 chokes at .004/.007 about perfect. I've got a 2-bbl. set and a single barrel set that all three barrels sets are interchangeable between the two 28ga. Repros.

I have never heard of a 28ga. choked at .045". .021" is considered by Briley to be a full choke in a 28.
It's no wonder you were 'obliterating' game. You could shoot through a Cheerio and not break it.
