Re - browning choke tube and patterning

[cjmac]

In response to the post I made a few weeks ago about an old browning automatic twelve gauge, and trying to figure out what fixed choke it had in it.
According to y'all and browning, it is an improved cylinder.. It is only a two and three quarter inch chamber gun.
Here are the results at thirty yards
Info is written on bottom left of target .

The ones marked 3in where shot out of a 870 pump with 28in barrel and a fixed modified choke.

Ill be hunting brush , swamp and small open areas on trails . No more than 30 yard shots . All thoughts and comments are appreciated

Use the 870, those patterns are wayyy tooo open to kill something quickly. If using OO Buck you should have at least a mod choke a full would be better for 30 yard kill shots, asumeing deer size game for buck shot.

Look for shell that have -

• Granulated plastic buffer keeps pellets uniform in shape.

Copper plater OO even better.

My only concern is this is a really old browning . Them barrels where made for lead only back then

I mean to be honest 30 yards is the most ill ever got as thick as it is here on this bottom in this property . Realistically it would be more of a 15 MABY 20 yard shot . I might try a shot at 15 yards on paper this weekend see what it looks like
