Not quite sure I understand the question. The benelli tubes that come form the factory have the choke labeled on the side as well as notches in the end. With 1 notch being a full choke 3=Mod 4=Improved cylinder 5=cylinder.

If by closed you mean tight choke the full would be for lead shot only.

A closed choke, I believe, makes the pattern of your shot (bbs) tighter than an open choke. So if you were hunting something where you wanted to deliver a lot of shot in a small area, that is when you would use the closed choke.

So what your thinking is that it is a turkey choke or something like that. I have had the gun for 10 years and it came with five labeled chokes. I have never tried the closed choke and wasn't sure what to shoot through it without damaging the choke so I never gave it a second thought. I normally shoot steel so I mostly use the Mod. or improved chokes. I am assuming it is a lead only tube.

Thanks Much,

HC

I really don't know. My aunt and uncle are big into skeet and trap so I have a basic knowlege. I do know know if lead would hurt the choke. Maybe you hsould try it, i mean if you never use ti anyway could it really hurt stuff that much??

Just measure the internal diameter of the choke. A standard 12ga bore measures .729" however back bored guns are larger and Mossbergs are just wrong.

Rough indicators:

.729" cylynder

.720" Imp Cyl

.710" Mod

.694" Full

.684" X-Full

ps. Terror chokes kick butt and were designed for steel & Hevi-shot. My 10ga has a bore of .779" and I have Terror chokes of .720" & .705". According to the chart the .720" is XXXX-Full and the .705" is XXXXXXX-Full. At 40yds I'm getting 90% of BB steel in a 30" circle with the .720". Geese in SD will be suprised next weekend & over Thanksgiving grin.gif

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
