Mossy88

Long story short Ive sold and given away so many shotguns to family and friends that Im all out, lol.
I didnt realize the "election" was going to go the way it did or Id have held on to at least two of my 12 gauges.
So I was looking for a single shot 12g. Couldnt find one anywhere around here and ended up with a Mossy 88 that actually seems to be preferable to me over my old 500s and 535s (like the trigger guard safety).
Anyway...I got the HD model...8 shot tube....so it also is cylinder bore, which is exactly what I wanted.
but i did finally get desperate for a single shot 12g and found new Savage 301 on gunbroker.com (never purchased from there yet) for an acceptable price.
Now for the question.
I also ordered a .660 ball mold from MartysArms. I know it wont be a problem in the cylinder bore 88....but the new 301 will have a modified choke.
Will a .660 solid ball run down a modified choke in a shot cup?
How about with no cup if it comes down to it?
The balls will NOT be being used for hunting or anything that requires accuracy beyond a zombie invasion. lol....so hitting a zombie torso at no more than 20 feet is all Im looking for. Just a doomsday kind of thing 'just in case' the world blows up and I want to recast bird shot into lead balls for cheap 'slugs'. I'll be using commercial slugs for hunting.
- Will a .660 ball slide out a modified choke with a cup? And if not, how about without the cup?
edit to add..Im very willing to just buy the cylinder bore choke...Im just curious about the modified.
