    Default Better Choke for Block Shoots

    I go to block shoots pretty frequent. I would like a better choke. I currently have a Mossberg Over/Under 12g. It take the Mobil Choke thread. I have a straight through .655 extended turkey choke tube. It hits the paper pretty good.

    I was looking into Graham Precision Barrels. They offer a choke tube with .637/.640/.655 and they have 4-5 Wad Stoppers on the inside. I guess this is what he does is specialize in these style chokes for this type of shooting. He can make it ported or non ported. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251268027653...84.m1423.l2649

    I was also looking into Kick's Card Shooter. Its a .640 and its ported with that they call Wad Strippers. There are no steps in it. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/481...0-constriction

    I tried a .655 ported and it was worse off then my .655 non ported now.

    Which would you go with? I shoot at ranges 22-30 yards.

    I am looking at getting a choke. They offer them in a .650 and .640. I usually shoot at 22-30 yards.

    Cardshooter using # 7½ lead shot - 12 ga .650"

    Cardshooter using # 8, # 9 lead shot - 12 ga .640"

    There is a guy already using a .640 and is doing extremely well. Should I just go with the .640 as well?

    The one main shoot I go to uses 7 1/2 but a couple times a year they might use 8 or reloads.

    What would you do?

    These are the chokes I prefer to buy:

    But it seems what you now shoot works well at the distances you shoot. Before you buy anything-select some ammo and set up butcher paper at various distances to see how the gun aims and performs.

    I ended up buying both the chokes I listed in the first post. I already got the Kicks .640 in. I should get the custom made .637 in a couple weeks. I am anxious to see which one is better.
