My spreader loads are useful under 20 yards. Example of what you can do longer shots with factory chokes, Patterned my 16 G Trojan few days ago. Right modified barrel 3/4 oz 7 1/2 at 25 yards no spreader insert produced very good game load patterns. If the shell was loaded with 1 1/8'oz modified would probably put too many pellets in a bird ruining it for the table. Of course had the gun been open choked and 1 1/8 oz pattern spread would be wider with shot density about like the 3/4 oz loads

Do I need a wider spread at 25 ? IC choke might give the gun another 12 inches spread. When I miss its much more than 12 inches, pattern won't save a bad shot. Choosing your load you can make that Parker do just about anything. Spend some time on paper with that Trojan get to know it well then decide.
