billytheghillie Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 don't know about sporting, I have a 525 28in barrels and just use 1/4 and 1/2 for all my game shooting, and a odd go at the clays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Foster Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Once your have a choke to some degree it will create a pattern. The question then is whether the clay you are shooting will be 'missed', or find a gap, in that pattern. In practice very few clays need more that a 1/4 or 1/2 - only those few, edge on, at 35 yards plus. So stick with the 1/4 chokes and keep shooting until you have built your own mental picture. You will miss more with a tight choke that you will with one which is 'wider' than you initially think you need. A lot shoot 3/8 and 5/8 and the 5/8 is there for show - me included. Added - The barrel length is irrelevant above 24 inches. Edited May 5, 2020 by Adrian Foster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Foster Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Likely to be 'Invector Plus'. I think the Midas are 'Invector Plus' and should interchange. Yes - Shoot until you know its you and then you will know that any changes are really an excuse !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmaxphil Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 My 525 laminate came with 4 midas chokes cylinder 1/4 1/2 3/4 as standard, 3/8 midas is quite scarce in this country, pattern test the chokes as they seem to pattern a bit tighter than normal invector plus, I use skeet and 1/4 normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sishyplops Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Midas are invector plus , I may have one in mod I’ll have a look Midas we’re the standard choke that came with the Ultra XS prior to the titanium chokes supplied with the ultra prestige and ultra Pro Midas seem as good as any, I’ve got a full set of Teague ported chokes and apart from reduction in muzzle flip from the porting I don’t notice any difference in pattern from my Midas chokes (Teague look nice though ) Edited May 6, 2020 by sishyplops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
