I have been hearing more and more waterfowl hunters saying that they are using full to super full chokes to hunt ducks. For years, I have used a modified choke with fairly good luck. . . however with all this talk, I am considering trying the full choke option this year. The other night Red Dog was singing the praises of the "Pattern Master" choke system. . . does anyone else use FULL chokes during the season with good luck?
Also, I prebought Hevishot at the end of last season and have been dying (for 7 months) to try it out. From what I have been hearing, I will never go back to steel. I am planning to use #4s for geese this Sept. season and Eiders later in the year does this sound like an effective shot size? What does everyone else use?
Lastly, since hevishot is 10% heavier than lead are there any special considerations that need to be made when shooting through full choke systems or is this not a factor?
