Don’t change the chokes. You can find some Europeans wads, which will leave a portion or all the lead exposed, to open up the patterns. Or just shoot it as it is and consider your patterns to be slightly greater in width than a .410 would give you, with a lot better pattern density. Mid season doves get shot with my Ruger O/U 28 with M & F chokes, deadly out to about 35 yards. I shoot sporting clays with a .410 and can hold my own against most 12 shooters. Center you targets and they all die. Larger guns only give you more margins for error and a bit more range. But most sporting clay targets are at known, reasonable distances, well within a 28 gauge capabilities.

Ballistic Products, BW28 Brush wads work well.
