What is the tightest choke you can use with 00 buckshot?

What is the tightest choke you can use while using 00 buckshot?

I know you can use any choke with buckshot, but what is the tightest choke you can use without causing significant deformation to 00 buck?

Lead double naught shot will pass thru a key hole... Not a risk but pattern will suffer!

I guess the question should be, what is the tightest choke you guys recommend while shooting 00 buck?

I never shot it, but I would say you would want a little more open of a choke vs a supertight turkey choke.

Here's the one that I would buy.

I recommend their choke tubes.
