My reasoning in having that much choke in the left barrel is that we get into wild birds here occasionally, and with the right conditions they just won't hold for the dogs long enough for us to approach. The others are early release birds, turned out in movies in August. By October they often won't hold for you to approach the dogs, and bust out at the sound of leaves and grass underfoot.

When they flush "wild" a little extra choke is nice. I've never mangled a close bird with it.

I like that plan.
