Title: stoeger m3000 choke and load
Post by: tomfooleryy on February 14, 2020, 06:12:30 PM
Just picked up a m3000 wondering what y'all favorite choke and load was for this gun. Looking for a nice even 40 yard hunting pattern?

I had good luck with Kicks 660 and IC 665.

Shot winchester extended range #6 and Hevi 13 #6 back when I used to run mine.

Mine patterns pretty good with an Indian Creek .665 choke and Winchester LB #6's. I'm not a numbers guy when it comes to patterning though.

On a side note I did have some issues with POI so I ended up installing a Vortex Venom red dot to correct it. Mine out of the box was shooting high right if I remember correctly.

Mine shoots really well with a truglo SSX .643 and hevi #6 or #7.  I have not shot and longbeards or any other lead load out of it.
