<P style="MARGIN: 0px">If you are shooting slow steel, Hevishot, or TM your factory chokes may perform perfectly well, although an extended aftermarket choke often performs better.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Even a Pattern Master or Wad Wizard will usually pattern slow shot well, sometimes very well, depending on the choke and load used.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">For fast (>1450 fps.) steel shot loads at ranges 35 yards and further, the .675" Terror has proven to be superior to the other chokes with most loads and in the guns I have seen patterned. In my Novas, it improved the patterns by 12% to 25%, depending on the shot size and load used over factory chokes and Briley extended chokes. And similar improvement is usually reported by others who try them.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">However, closer than 35 yards, the .675" Terror can be too tight. When using steel shot for shooting over decoys out to about 35 yards, often a extended light modified choke is a good choice in an SBE. </P>
