How much the shot is constricted as it leaves the barrel.
If it was made to shoot steel shot and has interchangeable chokes.
To change the choke of the shot
The choke is a way of narrowing the barrel. It is designed to keep the shot in a tighter pattern. A full choke is supposed to increase the effective range of the weapon.
use lead only steel chokes are specified on the choke as steel of lead shot
The choke that provides the tightest shot pattern is the "Full" choke. This choke constricts the shotgun's barrel more than others, creating a narrower spread of shot as it exits. As a result, it is ideal for long-range shooting and precise targeting. Full chokes are commonly used in hunting situations where accuracy and distance are crucial.
only if your choke is improved cylinder or modified, full chokes are a no,no. the barrel will bulge or burst!
you do not operate choke chokes have different settings for different shot spread and pattern you can change this if the gun has changable chokes if changable the choke screws off and you screw different choke on Yes you do operate this choke, I own one.! It has markings on side. Its what is called a poly choke You can crank it closed for Full choke or twist it open Hope this helps
Using steel shot with a full choke in a Western field 12 gauge shotgun is generally not recommended. Full chokes can constrict the shot too much, potentially leading to increased pressure and damage to the shotgun. It's advisable to use modified or improved cylinder chokes when shooting steel shot to ensure safe and effective performance. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific shotgun model before using different types of ammunition.
A Winchoke is a screw in choking device that screws into the end of a Winchester Shotgun. Commonly called a screw in choke, most manufacturers have a different name for their chokes that they made specifically for their products. Screw in chokes eliminate the need for extra barrels with different chokes built in. The screw in choke allows the shooter to change from open chokes to a full choke depending on how wide they want the shot pattern to spread. Winchester makes the Winchoke, Remington makes the Remchoke, Browning makes the Invector choke and so on.
Either a full choke,or extra full choke shotgun barrel.
Invector chokes are interchangeable choke tubes used in shotgun barrels to modify the spread of shot patterns. They allow shooters to adjust the constriction of the barrel, which influences how tightly or loosely the shot is dispersed over a distance. This adaptability makes Invector chokes popular among hunters and sport shooters, as they can optimize their shot for various shooting scenarios. The system includes different choke options, such as improved cylinder, modified, and full, catering to diverse shooting needs.
Most ARE shot from full choke- or even Extra Full Choke.
