Those chokes are rather open, do you find that to be beneficial for wildfowl? I’ve always been of the train of thought to have a tight a choke as you can get away with
@CumbrianWildfowlerКүн бұрын
TSS patterns very tightly compared to lead. steel etc. Open chokes are best, for me anyway
@eminem46787Күн бұрын
@ I’m not too familiar with how TSS works, but is that how you can get away with such a small shot size then if it patterns so tight? I’ve never used TSS myself, but it almost seems better than lead
@CumbrianWildfowlerКүн бұрын
@ TSS is very dense and heavy. TSS number 7 hits like lead 3 or 4. It’s almost twice as heavy so ballistically it performs very well, carries its speed and killing power over longer distances. But it patterns tightly so open chokes are needed for ranges under 40 yards. And it costs a fortune.

I had the over and under version of this gun - the hammer started peening over when I did my end of season strip and clean. Got rid of it shortly thereafter. I now have a baikal side by side - 3 inch chamber, single selective trigger, ejectors, and multichoked. A great gun and cracking value. Like you I have no desire to put 3.5's through a side by side so the shorter chamber means I'm minimising blow-by. Are you sure that choke is appropriate for the yildiz thread pattern?
