What do you run in your clay shotgun? Specifically O/U.
It ain't easy being me.

For skeet, skeet and skeet. For singles trap, full (under barrel), doubles trap, a modified under and full over shooting the under barrel first. For five stand and sporting clays a full under and modified over but I select over or under depending on the target presentation.
Only at the end do you realize the power of the Dark Side.

For sporting clays, IC & LM will break 95% of the targets.

What choke if using a 20 gauge semi-auto? Or would 20 ga be to much of a disadvantage??

20 ga is fine, many shooters use 1 oz loads for their 12s, 7/8 works fine or you can use 1 oz 20s.
If I'm only going to use one choke, it would be LM

Skeet I go with two skeet chokes, or a skeet and Diffusion choke. Trap I use Ligh mod on bottom and Mod on top. International trap I use improved mod on top.
Sporting clays I adjust whenever they show me the pattern. Five stand I adjust whenever they show the pattern.

I'm a fan of the Carlson's extended stainless. For clays if you only had two to choose I would say IC and LM.
The LM is one of my all around favorites for hunting too. I feel it does well in the dove field with small shot and it patterns nicely with 2s and BBs for geese when lots of folks over constrict.

www.mullerchokes.comLM on second shot most of the stations with an IC in the lower barrel. Doesn't matter the gauge, they all travel the same distance and speed.
