Just for future reference, you don't really ever *need* a choke for anything per se. A choke just enhances your firearm. A cartridge will go boom regardless of whether you have a choke. If you're hunting, a choke may be necessary to shoot well, but it is not necessary to simply shoot.

Where it gets tricky is with some rounds, like slugs, you should not use certain types of chokes, like particularly tight ones.
