[QUOTE="esshup, post: 689780, member: 11101"] As the guys here have figured out, finding the right choke tube is more of a black art than science for us gun owners who don't have access to a testing lab. It's not just the size of the choke, it's the relationship of the choke dia. to the I.D. of the shotgun bore, plus the taper in the choke tube and length of parallel. Even a couple .001" difference in the bore size will make the choke tube perform differently. Changing shot size will also change how the choke performs. Usually, larger shot size needs less constriction than smaller shot size. There's no guarantee that two shotguns, of the same mfg and barrel length will pattern the same with the same load and choke tube. You have to test fire the gun with the load you'll be using at the intended impact distance to verify that the pattern is what you want. [/QUOTE]
