Bounce pretty much nailed it. Most shotguns any more are over choked to the point that a Modified choke any more will shoot as tight as one of the old Full choke barrels will. My favorite choking of all time is skt 1 and skt2 which is between a cylinder and a light mod choke. That makes a gun a killing machine.
I own two of the Hastings barrels. One is a straight rifles barrel and the other is a smooth bore. I also own a Metro barrel for them. They are for a Remington 1100 and one is a 2 3/4" barrel and the other is a 3" barrel.
One of the best loads I have ever used was #6 Hevi Shot in a 2 3/4" load 1 1/8 oz. I was shooting ducks and geese with that load and my Buddie was using a Remington 10 ga using steel shot and I was knocking ducks and geese down further away by far than he was and doing a better job of killing them. That stuff shoots TIGHT. Would be awesome on Turkeys. Also I was using a Modified Choke. ;D
