Do you ever shoot shot or bird hunt with it? I have pattered it with some #5 shot at 25 yards….did well ,for not being choked. But have not Turkey hunted with it yet. Iam just now feeling comfortable with the load combinations I come up with….so maybe a white tail with the Smoothbore this year, It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Any of your smoothies choked ? I had one jug choked, I am not impressed with the results. Not that much of a difference from the cylinder bores
