steel1212 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) A Briley Diffusion choke. Larger shot for longer range steel. Edited January 5, 2010 by steel1212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) The IC will cover most shots in a typical 3gun match. This is what I use unless there is some sort of knockdown plate at like 35yd, I "may" then switch to the Modified .. Edit to add loads, typical higher quality #7 or 8 birdshot. Remington STS or on the lower end, Wallmart Federal 100pk.. Edited January 4, 2010 by P.Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gose Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I used to switch between IC and M. Now I just stick to IC and carry a few 4s or 6s in my bag for those tougher plates or longer shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouSlide Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I go with a Briley Light Modified, based on the recs from some much better competitors than myself, and the fact it seems to shoot slugs better than the IC. YMMV. Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV.Curtis +1 on the BLM. Just started using it for 3 gun and it's made a big difference for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busyhawk Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 IC for my 21 inch...gets me through about 92% of the time. I only use the diffuser for very short range stuff and close clays/frangable targets, as well as busting down doors. I have carried lots of chokes but have never used a full at any time in the last 3 years. As others have said, ammo is a good choice if the steel isn't going down or if your Shotgun patterns better with a certian choke. My wolf slugs pattern good with everything! Hope this helps, RLTW, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I used to switch between IC and M. Now I just stick to IC and carry a few 4s or 6s in my bag for those tougher plates or longer shots. My sentiments exactly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickpony Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I use a Carlson Light Mod for everything in my 21" and it seems to work fine... I've tried switching depending on the stage but if you aim it just may not matter what choke is in the gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken hebert Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 IC. But I do carry a cylinder and light mod in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskey1 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I shoot LM about 25% of the time and IM about 65% of the time. The other 10% is split between Cyl and IC. It probably makes little difference but I usually shoot a choke one or two constrictions more than I think I need for a particular stage. Poppers always fall when hit with a load of 8s from an IM! I also know when something doesn't go down that it was the fault of the loose nut behind the gun not putting the bead in the right spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 A Briley Diffusion choke in IC or LM. I thought diffusion was the choke? As in more open than Cyl. With that said.....I prefer an LM for the majority of my shotgunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 A Briley Diffusion choke in IC or LM. I thought diffusion was the choke? As in more open than Cyl. With that said.....I prefer an LM for the majority of my shotgunning. A Briley Diffuser choke is basically a rifled choke, I measured one once and it was IC in size. Its expensive and not very useful for long steel... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are right, Diffusion is the Constriction at .005 right below the IC at .010 Don't know what I was smoking when I posted that. As for along steel, carry bigger shot.

TMC Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I used to switch between IC and M. Now I just stick to IC and carry a few 4s or 6s in my bag for those tougher plates or longer shots. Another + for Henrik except I leave a light mod in my gun. For some reason I bring all the other chokes to every match, I don't know why because I've never changed one.
