When using a double with tubes, I almost aways put a cyl/ic on the first bbl, the other gets a full. Even in the gouse/doodle woods early season with full folage, that second shot can be out there. When we went out west to the sand hills of Ne chasing sharpies and chickens, I used this combo to great effect. Even when in the rolling open hills there were still substantial close shots. Plus with a quality highbrass shell you can get Modified patterns with an ic.
And either in Mi or Ne, if the bird gets up at 35+ yards, the quickest way to the full choke (this is on a SST) is to shoot the open bbl first (when using the DT 311 I still slap the front trigger first - my brain isn't fast). It's amazing how many birds drop at over 40yds with 7 1/2 spreaders thru an open choke.
