Nate40,

I consider Imp. Cyl. to be the single most useful shotgun choking for nearly all bird hunting. With steel shot, it is the only choke screwed into the end of my Browning Gold 12 ga., used with either steel or hevi-shot.

For pheasant, IC chokes and #5 shot are a deadly combo.

I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
