Choke debates are virtually endless. But ALL of my Cyl. & Cyl. 12 bores perform as well as Dean's 16 on ANY sporting clays target. So much so, that I don't even consider choke when I pick a gun for a day's outing.
The same goes for my 16-bores or 20s. They will ALL break a target with 3/4 oz. loads out to about 50 yds. or so as long as I'm "on" with my lead, etc.
What's more, I also use the same Cyl. & Cyl. guns with 1 oz. loads to great effect on preserve pheasant at just short of the same distances. After all, what choice did shooters have before choke was invented?
