Not to be an azz but the only thing that can tell you what choke to use in your gun with your choice of load is a patterning board.

Two guns of the same make shooting the same shell through the same choke will not necessarily pattern the same.

Kicks Hi Flyer and Haydels Decoying. Got 'em both from a buddy that quit hunting.

I can tell a difference in the Kicks in regards to distance. I checked the pattern differences compared to factory choke (Remington) and there is definitely a difference, for the better.

Super duper choke or factory, I still can't hit sheet. :?

Can't beat the patternmaster. SIGNIFICANTLY less cripples and great knock down power on long shots.

I have been using the Kick's High Flyer.

I did a lot of pattern work on the board with all sorts of different shells and shot sizes this spring. The best pattern I found came from Kent fast Steel 3 inch in a #4. And boy am I glad, because out of a 3 1/2 inch in my 870 supermag the recoil was about all I could stand. I have about 85% of the pattern at 40 yards with the 3 inch #4. In theory, I should be dropping ducks like rain come November.

Ya'll must shoot at a lot of far away birds with all them fancy choke tubes. I still got my Remmington 870 Wingmaster and find that the Remmington 2 3/4 #4's work for just about all decoying ducks. I'm pretty sure the choke I got in there is the standard modified tube. Hell it's in there so dam good I don't think I could change it if I wanted to.
