I just sent my 1100 magnum barrel off to get shortened and threaded. I’m going to order some TSS from Hal, the barrel will be threaded to accept true choke threads so I will have to purchase new chokes, this will be my first dealings with tss, I plan to shoot 9s. Should I get a .665 Indian Creek( had great success in the past with IC and hevi shot) or a Carlson? If I go with the Carlson, which restriction for TSS 9?
Thanks,
Kevin
Which Choke?
Re: Which Choke?
.665 IC will probably give a smoking pattern. A Carlson's .675 would probably throw a more forgiving hunting pattern.

Hard to beat the IC .665
Re: Which Choke?
Indian Creek does very well in my 12 and 20 ga's with hand loads .Apex and Federal TSS.

Re: Which Choke?
I run a Rem SF HS .675 in my 1187. It throws great patterns with 2 oz handloads of 8s (260/188) and 9x8s (306/248). Wouldn't want it any tighter. I have an IC .665 for that gun but have never even shot it with TSS, I am so pleased with the Rem choke.

Re: Which Choke?
I have always found that IndianCreek patterns more different types of shells than other types consistently
Re: Which Choke?
The Indian Creek I do believe it is a .655
Re: Which Choke?
I’m shooting a .670 IC 2 5/8 3.5” 8x9
