I have a patternmaster also. I like it because can control my pattern with the shell more than with constriction type chokes. Large shot patterns tight small shot opens up and spreads faster giving you a better close in pattern. I shoot 3" BBs for geese, 2 3/4" #4s for woodies & teal and 3" #3s for big ducks sometimes #2s if im hunting big water or a mix of big ducks and geese. Patternmasters don't shoot lead birdshot worth a flip though.
