skinitback Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Correct me if im wrong but isnt Improved modified tighter then Light Modified. I was getting ready to Improved but looked at the chart and I believe Light would be better on decoying geese. Not a choke tube ? Just a size of pattern question. Geese would be in reason....10 to 40yrds I want tight but not too tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novaking Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Whats wrong with IC choke. I have good luck with IC over decoys. But 40 yards maybe not. 35 and under. no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kacey joe Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I don't know if you've noticed, but the improved modified and the full chokes that come with the SBE II say "no steel" on them, at least mine do. Can't quite understand why a top shelf waterfowl gun would come with only 3 out of 5 chokes rated for steel shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoDucker Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 As a rule of thumb, steel shot out of a modified choke patterns like lead out of a full and the same goes with imp cyl steel like modified lead. Steel just tends to pattern tighter than lead. However, each gun/choke/ammo combination will differ. Have you tried pattening your gun with the different chokes with the ammo you intend to use? If not, draw a 30" circle on a piece of cardboard or plywood and put it out at 30 yards. Aim for the center and then figure your percentage of shot within the circle. You'll also see if your gun shoots center or not. Try it at 40 yards too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMAC Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 You shouldnt shoot steel in any choke tighter that Mod thats why, pretty much standard info for any gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splashtx556ftw Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 you dont shoot steel through a tighter choke than mod, for simple reason.. steel shot does not compress at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchunter Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 With my sbe II the mod messes up the ducks pretty bad at 25 to 30 yrds. I had to drop back to the improved. Better put it on the paper to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashtx556ftw Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 try a lower velocity shell, with a little smaller shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J J Mac Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 yes. they go...cylinder,skeetI,skeetII,improved cylinder,light mod, modified,improved mod,full,and extra full. The choke tube websites that I have looked at show skeet II and light mod the same in between improved cylinder and modified. Some manufacturers call it skeet II and some call it light modified, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
