Tight chokes and large shot sizes?

Hi,

I overheard two people at my local gun shop talking about how putting large shot sizes through a full choke can cause some of the shot to break up? Is this true? I shoot foxes with RC50's in number 2 and a 3/4 choke. Never thought about using a full choke before.

Surely lead would squash if it did anything, rather than break :good:

Cheers for your thoughts. I actually went out last night with a full choke to try and find out first hand. Full choke works fine :-) I've just posted some pics in the picture section of the fox.

Don't worry about putting #2s through full choke, you can safely fire SSGs through as long as they're nothing other then lead, I wouldn't even risk copper coated, as I don't know much about it.

 

I'm talking about full, not sure about turkey or X full, XX etc.
