I just picked up a 30" 1100 12 ga bbl, VR and fixed full choke.
Hunted dove w a 26" Imp cyl and steel shot and it worked good on the F&W area (mandated non toxic).
But I found the bbl a bit light and short. was on a 2 3/4 gun.
Think a 28" w chokes proly better, but none around.
Used a 30 way back w lead on a magnum and it cycled 1250 fps stuff. Magnum bbl.
That gun long gone.
Got a diff magnum, for waterfowl. 26" Remchoke magnum bbl wont run steel dove loads.
Gonna test and see if steel dove loads will cycle the 2 3/4" bbl.
If it does, proly have it opened to modified for steel dove rig.
Shop that used to ream chokes back in the day no longer in business.
Found a 28" fixed full choke bbl too, but its kinda dinged/pitted outside. Dunno how well it'd clean up.
If I can't find a local smith to ream my bbl, who should I send it to?
