Question on Mossberg Choke & shot size
March 07, 2013, 01:18:19 PM
So I picked up a Mossberg 500C 20 Ga for my son...nince one at Kittery Trading Post in ME. I wanted to know what choke and shell selection would be best for this gun......... It came with a XF and I tried #5 it did ok to 30 but i'd like to see if i can get 40yds out of it....
Any thoughts or suggestion

A 562 and Federal HW #7s or H-13 #7s will smoke em out to 40. Even out of 570 or 575 and HTLs work.
For lead only get a Federal 3-1 5/16 #6 and your present choke and it may do to 40 but most likely 35 will stretch it.Then you can go to other chokes. I like Hastings and Sumtoy chokes personally in Mossy
20's.
For closer distance lead try the Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 3-1 1/4-7.5s . Ouch! to 30 .

I've had good luck with the 570-575 range of chokes with lead and HTL loads
it's not the harvest,it's the chase
