Thank you Mr. Williamson. Sounds like you've got a good one. I don't know if I would ever put mine in the duck blind again, however this summer I think I will load up some #4 Bismuth, ITX or Nice Shot 2 3/4" shells (mine is a 2 3/4" chamber)using approximately 188 pellets. I figure 188 #4 pellets of either of the 3 will weigh in between 1 and 1 1/4 oz. I will hold the psi around 8,500 to 8,700. I just want to see what type of patterns these shells will produce in the gun @ 40 yds. My choke bores (according to Turnbull) are .705 R and .692 L. The 1945 catalog shows that you could order a "Half Choke" (I assume this is about a Imp. Mod.) so possibly the person that ordered the gun with the Non Selective Hunger One Trigger could have also specified a Half Choke in the R barrel. Who knows. Thank you very much for your imput.
