Imperfection Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Improved cylinder (IC). Make sure you put a few drops of oil on the thread just before you screw it in and ensure its tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggy Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 If you are just starting out use IC , then as you become a better shot then go up to 1/2 choke or even full. I have shot many hundreds with open choke but now in my latter years I shoot full both barrels.I have no dog so no runners. Ic with sevens is better than full with fives. Just for info last year I shot 135 with my cz453 had to let them settle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
