I'm wondering what everyone has found to be the best combo for taking decoying ducks. What choke tubes is everyone using with remington HD or hevi-shot. I shoot a Winchester SX2 most of the time w/a modified invector choke tube. I tried some HD this past weekend and had a tough time with the close ups ducks, but when they got out a little no problem. I'm going to Arkansas in a few weeks and was really impressed w/no cripples from the HD loads.

Why spend the money on HD loads for decoying birds? Seems like a major waste of money. As for chokes...you really need to just pattern them and see what it looks like at the distance you are shooting.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

Some ammo will react differently than others, and the only way to know what is the best is to pattern it. I shoot modified factory Benelli choke. After going through pattern tests with that and Remington, Black Cloud, and Kent I could tell a noticeable difference.
No bad days hunting
