Darn . . . I shoot Pure Golds on occasion. I thought that I was more Sears Roebuck.

It's harder to tighten a choke via load selection than it is to open it. That being said, cylinder can be pretty deadly at TYPICAL upland ranges. And from what Roster has found in his CONSEP workshops, most hunters would probably be better off with cylinder, and limiting their shots to 30 yards max. But for the ATYPICAL upland opportunities, and for those who can hit reliably beyond 30 yards, choke comes in quite handy.
