Dimes are useful if you have nothing else and in a pinch. Dimes are about .705 to .710, so if it goes you can have anything from .024 to .000 with a standard .729 bore. If it does not go with a standard bore you have anywhere from .025 on up choke. But cut from 30" to 26" the choke constriction will not be very long so don't expect it to throw the pattern of an uncut gun with the same constriction and full length chokes.
