This will be my first season duck hunting so I bought a 28 inch barrel for my mossberg 500. This barrel came w/ a full choke, would this be safe to use w/ 3inch #2 steel shot (federal black cloud)? or should I use an IC or Modified choke?
I also picked up a used modified choke for the gun but am not sure it is actually modified. It has no markings but the clerk at the kittery trading post put it onto some brass guage (similar to a jewlers ring guage) and said it was a modified. anyone have experience with those guages? are they accurate? anyone know any other way to identify a mossberg accu-choke that doesnt have markings? My calipers arnt accurate enough to show such small differences. I know I may sound anal, but I don't like to leave anything up to chance, even the small details . Thanks.
