A friend of mine has an older Beretta 302 12 guage, and is going Goose hunting tomorrow evening. His choke tubes are identified by dots on them. One has four, one has two, and one has one. There is no writing on them to distinguish which is which. Can you help me ID them? Also, he is using steel shot for this outing, so I assume full choke is not an option, correct? Thanks a million! -Dave

Also, one can compare relative degrees of choke using one of the organic feeler gauges you were born with, your fingers.
Stick a digit in a tube and note how far it goes. Stick it in another. If it goes in further, the first tube is tighter.

Great info! I have been wondering the same thing as the OP since I inherited my dads Rem 1100 and Ruger Red Label O/U.The screw in choke containes just had line in the cap, but dad couldn't remember what markings meant what choke.Sweet.Thanks to you and the OP since I kept forgeting to ask here myself.
