Thanks for the info guys.
I did get an aftermarket choke tube, an Undertaker, after one fo my friends said factory ones were crap when it comes to handling steel shot. I just did not get to try it yet.
We do get some snows in my area but very early, so it is mostly Canada geese that we hunt.
Funy thing is that I always felt that no2 shot would be better because it would increase head/neck hits and wings break.
Back in the days of lead shot my favourite load used to be Winchester Super double XX 3in. mag. 1 7/8oz of no.4 shot.
So I figured that if no4 shot at 1200fps could do the job, surely no2 steel shot at 1550fps would be fine but then again I could be wrong.
I will soon start experimenting and doing some patterning of my own, since it is the only way to know what is best for my gun.

Thanks again.

Denis
