Guest stevo Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 hope you are not putting more than 28g 6s through your mullers for driven days as that's as big as you can go so muller says this is a quote from jimmy muller himself , when he was asked about this very thing . not that I'm worried , mine are solely for clays ONLY , Jimmy Muller Post subject: Re: Largest shot size through Muller's PostPosted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 8:11 pm Crown Grade Joined: Fri Mar 23, 2012 9:26 pm Posts: 2143 Location: Southbury, Connecticut birdshooter....your absolutely correct, heres the deal....It all depends on which choke it is and without me having to go thru extensive, confusing listings, I just now tell people #6 is safe. YES....in most of my Featherlites you can safely shoot #4's with awesome results, BUT....I certainly would not recommend shooting #4's thru an Optima U4 for example! So, if you want to shoot anything larger than #6 I would "suggest" you use our Waterfowl/Hunting choke tubes. Heres the other reason....IF I tell people that #4's are safe, someone out there will then decide for themselves that #2's and #1's are safe too. Thats all. It is smarter, better and safer!

V8 90 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I had a quote for Jimmy Muller himself when I sent him photos of the chips/damage to the ceramic coating that appeared on the inner edge of my Mullers - he said I'd abused them !!!! They do throw good patterns, but - they shoot loose unless you really tighten them well using a tapered choke key & if you have a sneaky look at other peoples at shooting grounds you'll see the damage to ceramic coating on the inner edge Edited November 30, 2015 by V8 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 90 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I know what you mean mate but what causes it ? I certainly didn't abuse mind as Jim stated I had ! Interesting the pattern you got from the U4, that's as tight as they go - I think it's similar to a 3/4 choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing the circle is 30" and the stated distance of 35 yards measured accurately, I'd say considering there are only about 15 pellets outside the circle then it is in fact a good, tight pattern. I don't believe Superbs are particularly known for opening up quick and I would bet against anything (clay shell wise) halving that pattern at that distance.

V8 90 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 For me the chipping issue & Jims feedback was enough. The guy in the UK who supplies them (can't remember his name) exchanged the damaged chokes as a gesture of goodwill, I didn't use them - just got rid...
