In defense of "choke openers".....

Many of the old classic double left the factory bored FULL & FULL. Or even EXTRA FULL. For most of us that hunt upland game. shoot sporting clays, and/or skeet -- those chokes are way too tight.

On these classic American oldies, I often have the right barrel opened to IC, and leave the left as FULL. Not a bad combo. I then handload "spreaders" for use in the tight barrel when shooting skeet. Works for me....
