I use some extremely tightly choked guns for hunting, very often. I shoot doves a lot and have been known to use my HE Fox with it's very tightly choked barrels. In those tightly constricted guns I favor a Fiocchi Interceptor 1 oz. spreader load in the right barrel when I do so, in guns stout enough to handle a few of those higher pressure loads. Works very well on doves out to about 30 yds., or so.
Now, my quail guns are "appropriately choked", but i actually prefer the very tight chokes in my duck guns for all kinds of ducking except shooting woodies coming into beaver ponds at first light. They will often be in yo' face.
