Remember that there is a significant difference between shells made at the time the gun was made and our current offerings, even RST shells. I have found a drop in choke gauge to be *almost* useless. As already posted, constriction is a strong clue, but the pattern board is best indicator. I have found that I can “change” the pattern by a choke designation by changing loads (even without spreader inserts). Always best to pattern the gun with the shells you plan to shoot.
