Don't over think the choke... unless you are competing for the world championships.
Go shoot the gun for a while with whatever choke is in it. Then decide what you want to do, if anything. If it's way too tight, as some makers have as much as .036 in their chokes, open it to something more reasonable for your uses. .015/.008 ain't too bad.
I totally get it Chuck. In this case however, I get to pick'em.
I want to have at least one .410 SxS that I can shoot Skeet with.
A remote resemblance to field chokes in the event of a decision to sell keep me from choosing a Cylander/Skeet set up.
I'm not looking to extend the effective range of this gun, I'm just looking for the optimum chokes for Skeet(basically)
but don't want a DT Double to have the same choke in both barrels i.e. Skeet/Skeet.
How about .011/.007, LMod/SkeetII ??
Tom, my earlier post seems to be along the lines of what you've suggested.
On older skeet guns it was common to have the right barrel choked more than the left, because targets were shot from the low gun position, and the outgoing target would be further away than is normal today. I once owned an IJ Skeeter in .410 that was so choked. My preference in a .410 double for quail hunting would be 0.007" constriction in the right barrel, and 0.011" or 0.012" in the left. Also I would restrict my shots to 30 yards or so.
