I have a Remington 11 (Auto 5 clone) in 12ga that I use for practice. Someday it may be pressed into serious use, though it is far too long for that (and I do not know how reliable a recoil-operated design could be).
For now I shoot #7 and #4 shot in it. I just bought a box of 10 00 buckshot, to see how it patterns with them. What I am curious about, is modified choke barrel OK for use with rifled or sabot slugs? Will it damage the choke? What kind of accuracy can I expect at 25m? 50m? 100m?
The barrel in 26" right now. The place where I bought it could cut it down to 18,5" to make it clear the top shelf of my safe easier and to handle better. I could leave it cylinder choke. Would it still cycle with the shorter barrel? Would the recoil increase dramatically or only slightly?
