Are all 12 gauge chokes the same?

If you are not SURE which choke fits your shotgun, please call for technical support. Never attempt to force a choke that does not screw in easily.

What are the different types of chokes for 12 gauge shotgun?

Types of Chokes

  • Cylinder choke is an unconstricted barrel. The shot string spreads quickly.
  • Improved Cylinder choke has a slight constriction. It allows the shot string to spread fairly quickly.
  • Modified choke has moderate constriction.
  • Full choke has tight constriction.

What is the difference in shotgun chokes?

A choke tube also determines to some extent the shotgun’s effective range. The tighter the constriction of the tube, the farther the range. For example, a full choke is most effective at 40 to 50 yards; an improved cylinder is most effective from 20 to 35 yards.

Are all shotgun chokes universal?

All shotguns have chokes. Some of them are permanently machined directly into the barrel for a fixed constriction, while others are interchangeable. With interchangeable, screw-in chokes you now own a multidiscipline shotgun for skeet, trap, sporting clays and wingshooting.

What shotgun choke is best for slugs?

Improved Cylinder choke
The conventional wisdom has long been that these slugs perform best with an Improved Cylinder choke. Though ammunition is highly variable, and all guns digest ammunition a little differently than one another, I’d be inclined to start with an IC choke. If your accuracy with this choke is acceptable, stick with it.

Can you shoot slugs out of poly choke?

And equally important is that this choke system will handle all loads, including slugs, Heavy Shot and steel. That’s a lot of versatility; and it can do it for the screw-in choke system shotgun you use. The true test of any gun is always at the range.
