TSS #9 TSS #7 Winchester Double XX #5 3" Winchester Double XX #5 3" 20 gauge Double XX #5 doesn't seem to make the 20 gauge a viable 40 yard gun. TSS #7 and #9 definitely do.

Every shot except this shot one kept 50% or more of the pellets in a 12" square. The Carlsons does a bit better with 3.5" 15 pellet 00 buck than my Kicks Buck Kicker full.

They all pattern very well. I also have a Kicks Gobblin' Thunder .680 for my A5. The Carlsons Extended Turkey Choke and the Longbeard chokes, both in .665, expectedly I guess, does pattern #5 tighter. The Carlson Buckshot Choke in .710 also patterns a little tighter than my Kicks Buck Kicker full. So the Carlsons turned out to be pretty good buys. https://vcdl.org/
