IPSC_GUY 3 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Ok got the barrel threaded, then cut down and the Poly Choke Silver Soldered on. We were shooting for a total length of 18 & 1/4 but it came out closer to 18 & 1/2 which is fine. When I crank the Poly Choke all the way down I can get to the "SLUG" setting. Now at this point, the fingers are as closed as possible. According to the paper work that came with the Poly Choke XTRA-FULL is as closed as it gets. Adjusting the Choke out one full turn to XTRA-FULL again, is Cylinder Bore. Two More clicks out are "REVERSE 1 & 2" that is supposed to give the widest possible pattern. Now my question is, where in the range of settings does "SLUG" fall? Is it meant to be the first setting of choke down from Cylinder Bore? No where in the paper work does it even mention "SLUG." What is anyone out there in TV land trying for slugs? IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KrisFox 69 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 one turn out to XTRA-FULL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Slugs do better in my gun with open cyl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfixr 76 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I run slugs somewhere between Cylinder and Modified, mostly Modified. Mine has a Slug setting, they weren't very accurate on this setting. Some of the manufacturers actually say that their slugs will work best fired through a Modified choke.

IPSC_GUY 3 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Ok so reading the responses, the fully choked down setting, which I can get to, that says "SLUG" would be a bad idea to actually fire a slug through, correct? Go with something just under Cylinder Bore then? IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 my stock 19" barreled (and heavily abused) 12 gauge has ABOUT in imp. cylinder choke necked into th ebarrel, and shoots slugs quite nicely, actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannytoro 3 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 ....Has anyone tried double or triple ought buck with their polychoke? What setting does yours seem to pattern best with?... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike12345 18 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) full to extra full works well with buckshot. I havent fired mine much on other settings. I have fired it on cylender and the wider settings but I was using hornady TAP 8 pellot so it made no difference in shot pattern. Fist size group every time.

gtnichols 51 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I am still confused I thought when the fingers closed together that was extra full CLOSED and for bird or buckshot, not slugs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronswin 26 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I had a Polychoke that was threaded for Remchokes on my Saiga for awhile before I went to a modified choke tube and stayed with it. I had fired 00 buck and slugs throught the Polychoke at various choke settings with no ill effects to the Polychoke. Somewhere in Polychoke's own literature or website they state that slugs and heavy buck are perfectly suitable for use in their choke. Different choke settings will produce different patterns especially if you change brand and types of shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
