20 gauge shooters

[stringtalker]

What chokes are you all shooting in your 20 gauges with around a 20-22 inch barrel using federal tss #9's. Actually haven't shot tss in my gun yet have always used longbeards in #6's. My gun is finicky so it probably want like the tss lol

.555-.575 just depend on how tight you like your pattern.
What gun are you shooting? Do you hunt mostly woods or fields?

Carlson .575 non ported extended tube. I have not found a gun yet that will not shoot that tube well. It's like roost said how tight do you want it? That one for me produces a great hunting pattern. I do not want my pattern way tight.

CVA Scout single shot and I hunt mostly woods, occasionally some fields

Same here.

My son and I both shoot 870s with hand loaded TSS 9s. One is shooting a Primos tightwad and the other a 575 Carlson's.

The Federal TSS shells like a tighter choke than the hand loaded TSS rounds due to its Flight Control Flex wad.

Same. That and Federal HW#7's will kill the hell out of paper—and turkeys!

I'm building a youth .870 20ga now for my oldest boy....I'm wanting to go with TSS for him this spring. I saw the truglo SSX sight and choke tube combo and thought that was a pretty good value. Quick online search give positive reviews on it. Does anyone have experience with this choke, or another brand that patterns well, in an .870 youth?

^^^^ .575 Carlson with TSS #9s and he'll be good to go for life. If he is limited to 30-35 yards, factory flush full choke with TSS #9s.

The Carlson .575 may not give the tightest pattern available but it will be a great hunting pattern and will shoot the most consistent pattern from shot to shot. I have two in 870s, a tru choke threaded one and a Mossberg one. The Tru Glo SSX I had shot very inconsistent patterns and points of impact varied from shot to shot. That was in an 870 shooting Federal Heavyweight 7s and Hevi 13 7s. I gave it to a friend of mine and he likes it with tss 9s but even with a scope says it is too tight and thinking about shooting the Carlson .575.

Another .575 Carlson and #9 tss shooter here. I've been pleased with the results. It's the only choke I've used with the #9's.

I got a Carlson 575 for Remington for sale and also same choke for win, Weatherby, Moss threads.
$25 TYD for either.

If you're into tight patterns with a dense core, Indian Creek .555 seems to do really well in most guns. If you're looking for a more uniform/forgiving pattern - what everybody else said. If I was setting one up for a kid, I would definitely start with a factory full or improved modified and see what it did at 30-35 yards before I bought an aftermarket choke.

I started out tight with #9 TSS, but as I opened the choke and went up is started shooting great. I shoot a Indian Creek .575" It is a custom order.
