Choke for BPS

[wisconsinteacher]

What choke would you look at for a Browning BPS that shoots 3" and 3.5".  I am planning on shooting Hevi #6 or #7.

What choke would you look at for a Browning BPS that shoots 3" and 3.5".  I am planning on shooting Hevi #6 or #7.

There are a number of chokes that do very well with those shells in Invector Plus bores. You might want to take a look at this article in which I evaluated a number of chokes with 3" Hevi-13 shells with #6 shot. http://allaboutshooting.com/article_info.php?articles_id=759

Please bear in mind, when looking at the charts, the numbers that you see are very conservative. I shot 3 shells with all gun/choke combinations and kept the middle score, throwing out the high and low of each. All shots were fired in temperatures no higher than the mid 50s, so you can expect to see better numbers in higher temperatures.

When shooting #7 shot you'll see higher numbers as well.

I hope that is of some help.

Thanks,
Clark

Pure Gold .660 for H-13 6's or smaller...

Indian Creek in .670 works well too...

I have a pure gold 660 tempest (non ported), ported PG 675 if you are interested.

I have a BPS and several years ago I was looking for the "right" choke. I contacted George Trulock of Trulock chokes by email and he recommended what he thought would match my gun for shell I was shooting. I shoot #5's in my BPS and I got a .670 Trulock choke. It throws an awesome pattern. Might wanna check them out on the web!

I've got a 26" "polished" barrel BPS through which I've shot and evaluated almost all of the HTL commercially loaded shells starting w/ the "old" green Remingtons.  I have not evaluated the Environmetal Hevi-13 loads produced in the last three years, since I stocked up on 6's, 7's and Mag-Blends based upon my patterning results the first year that the 7's were produced.  Of the 8 choke tubes which I evaluated in my BPS, the Indian Creek .665 produced the densest 10" core w/ an even 20" dispersal.  I got marginally better patterns w/ the Indian Creek .675 w/ the Hevi-13 4's, 5's and Mag-Blends, but the pattern opened up w/ the 6's and 7's.  I usually carry a Hevi-13, 7 in the chamber w/ 6's in the tube as back-up.
