Hey guys,

Question to those who know alot more than me. I have a standard Versa max, came with a Mod choke and trigger gaurd in the box. I Used to own a Benelli SN and loved the Carlson Choke tubes for water fowl. They patterned good enough for me and were fairly inexpensive for the set (close, mid and long range). So first thing i bought for the versa was the carlson choke tubes, they are nice, inexpensive, and knurrled for quick change in the blind.

My questions is what are duck and goose hunters on this sight using for chokes and ammo? and what ranges are you getting leathal hits at? I m just curious if i should look to other brands of ammo or choke for a more effective result.

I run Remi hyper out of the mid range choke, and when rocking the long range, black cloud or blind side. ( other choices or recomendations are welcome) I dont like swapping ammo, but carlson full (long range) doesnt recomend any more than 1550fps and hyper runs at 1700.

Have you patterned the versamax with the various loads and chokes?

I have with lots of shotguns. But for the versa I have done hyper, black cloud and blindside. Only with Carlson chokes, as I don't have the coin to buy numerous chokes and brands to see what works best.

Am hoping a fellow CGNr can give me his or her 2 cents on what they use in thier versa

So, went to lebaron, and sail in the ottawa area and asked some of the sales man for thier opinion. After some discussion and some Web look ups, hyper steel and any other round over 1550fps should not, nor is recomended by any manufacturer, like benelli, beretta, winchester...those all say the same in the manufacturers books. High end or low intro models, 1550 is the highest fps that any company recomends through a full choke.

So the consenses from my research is to re patern my gun with what ammo I have and run a mod choke again with the hyper to determine how far the leathality will take me.

Any input you guys have, I look forward to hear about it.
