Briley extended chokes vs. factory Beretta chokes for sporting clays?
I've been shooting a Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon for sporting clays for a couple years now, mostly using the factory flush chokes (IC and M). I'm considering Briley extended chokes for the supposed better pattern consistency and easier changes. Anyone have real-world experience comparing them to the stock Beretta chokes on targets out to 40-50 yards?

I ran that exact setup for a season - 686 Silver Pigeon with Briley extended chokes. The Brileys definitely throw more consistent patterns, especially with lighter target loads like Federal Top Gun 1-1/8oz #8. Where I noticed the biggest difference was on longer crossing shots at stations 3 and 7, where the extended choke gave me just enough extra density to break targets cleanly at 45 yards. The easier changing is nice when you're switching between stations quickly. What loads are you typically running through your 686?
