Precision Hunter style chokes are extended, knurled and notched for use with a choke wrench. They are manufactured from high strength 17-4 PH stainless steel with an extremely smooth interior finish. They are suitable for use with steel shot from cylinder through improved modified. All chokes are marked on the head with the degree of choke and on the body with the exit diameter. There is no difference between the Precision Hunter and the Sporting Clay chokes except for the low glare black oxide finish. High quality, low maintenance, known constrictions and a reasonable price!
The below chart shows the relationship between the degree of choke, the percentage and constriction based on lead shot. Keep in mind that the percentages are a guide only. What you actually want is a pattern that is dense enough to insure multiple hits on your target at the distance you normally shoot.
