[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3102458, member: 15054"] Do not assume the gun with a tighter choke will group your shots tighter. I learned this years ago patterning some shotguns i have. The gun that shot the tightest patterns was a full choke and was not the longest barrel. There is a lot of differences in chamber shapes in a shotgun and a longer gradual taper into the barrel may result in a tighter shooting gun. The absolute tightest shotgun i ever shot was Homemade muzzleloader rifle shotgun. Some 1:36 twist 50 cal that stuck a bullet in the tube and we drilled it out and made a smooth bore from it and hacked the barrel short. It shoots tighter than any 12 gauge I have. Pattern what you plan to shoot just so you know what gives. You probably do that anyway. [/QUOTE]
