Thread: 410 Repeater

@Tentman careful its a slippery slope of knowledge you are getting into here lol
If you are with a 410 I don't know if there would be much benefit of a choice of chokes. There aint a lot of pellets in there so unless its really close and you need a really open choke sometimes, full would be the way to go I reckon. Once you get more pellets in there as in a 28/ 20g fair enough-you can play with different pellet sizes to fill out a pattern from a more open choke for the closer ones.
Example-for clays with a double barrel you could have say 1/2 choke (old school here) with a full choke for the further away ones/misses and use size 7 shot.
For skeet where the distance is closer and everything moves a bit quicker, you would use skeet chokes (really open) and smaller size 9 pellets to fill the pattern up.
In the field for ducks/game the usual first barrel is the more open choke with the second barrel being tighter for the ones getting away.
Or as you have mentioned you spot one already at the distance and switch the selector/trigger to fire the full choke first.
In practice I have used pumps and semis for years and I don't feel disadvantaged very much at all although I should one day get a proper shottie for clays and retire the old A5 before it falls to bits.
I used to do things on sporting clays like 7's in the open barrel for a close target with 9's in the full choke to keep the pattern full-depending on the clays for that station.
I reckon though I was just being a bit of a wanker and over thinking it.
Like I said you can get carried away if you aren't careful.
