I have a Benelli M1, with the choke system.
I vaguely remember reading that when using Federal's Flite Control buckshot, that you should use a more open choke, as (maybe?) it was designed to be shot from Cylinder Bore shotguns and doesn't do as well if the wad gets constricted via the choke.
Is this the case, or am I jumbling things up?
If so, what's the recommended chock to use - IC? Mod?
Also, am I correct in saying that to be on the safe side, you shouldn't use Full choke when shooting slugs, and Mod is as tight as you want it? Or Old Wives tale like modern 30/06 rounds in an M1?
Also (also!), while on the subject of chokes, is there a benefit to using, with buckshot, a choke that's been designed for patterning buckshot? Again, I vaguely remember looking at chokes that were specially made to use with buck, and how they would decrease pattern size. Would these be of benefit with Flight Control rounds, or are those already about as good as you're going to get with any pattern?
Thanks,
