I just checked the chokes in my 410 Bill. Using the Galazan choke gauge they measure MOD/IM. I usually choose a shot from 25 to 40 yds. Other gauges and chokes will vary of course. I believe everyone has a load that gets the job done. I'm happy somewhere between #8 & #10.

I've always favored #7 1/2 for doves and quail both. I've been shooting #7 this year because I bought a couple of bags to try. Lots of my white wing shooting is high flyers and I have resorted to #6 and full choke on occasion! Thought I'd try the slightly larger shot...... can't really see any difference. Seems the biggest factor is my shooting on any given day.
