david bromberg Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I have been shooting an 870 my whole life and recently upgraded to SBE Yeh!!!!! I do not understand the whole choke tube concept and was too embarressed to ask the sales rep (or my hunting buddies0. I love to hunt pheasent. I borrowed a reloader and loaded up a bunch of 2 3/4 nickel plated lead. I can use this on the private land I hunt. We often move onto public and then I have to switch to steel. What is the best choke for this situation. I will also want to put a few slugs through the gun what choke is best for that. We laced a few Geese the day I bought it and the sales rep put 'the right choke' for 3.5" steel in it. Is there a web source with this information? Please provide answers or a link.
