No, not asking whether or not to choke my son, even though he is a teenager now.
He got his first shotgun for his birthday, a Mossberg 500 youth model 12 gauge.
Full house loads are a bit much for him right now, he's very thin and new to shooting a shotgun. So I've been reloading lately. I found a 3/4 ounce load for 12 gauge. Pretty much a 20 gauge load in a 12 hull. He can shoot that comfortably.
Now my question:
Since it's basically a 20 gauge load, should I go with a full choke since that's the closest I'm going to get to a 20 gauge bore for him?
