Right threads for the gun however, be careful with the Federal Black Cloud through this choke as the wads do not do well with ported chokes or wad stripping chokes.

Yay, you read everything I said and repeated it!

Whenever I pattern a gun or choke I use a 30" circle with a red dot in the center and shoot multiple brands of shells and shot size to see what the gun patterns best at.

Another thing you can do similar to this is to test how your point of aim is on your gun. Do the same thing with the large sheet of paper or a bedsheets and an aiming point, but instead of aiming, quickly mount your gun and shoot the dot. Do this 3-5 times using the same target , and you should have a pretty good idea where your gun is hitting vs where you are aiming.

That is what they call for. A true skeet restriction is only .005 and a improved cylinder is .010. If the choke you're using is a mod it still holds a tighter choke and could be some of the reason. But like the man said if you see the wad, put your head down. Just a thought.

At home you can take your UNLOADED gun and put a mini maglight in the end of the barrel, pick a wall to cieling corner to simulate your target and mount your gun like you would if shooting a bird and see where the light ends up to where you want to shoot. Have the light adjusted to it's narrowest beam, you can then practice gun swing following that ceiling to wall seem all the way down one wall. Does that make sense?
