[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 784878, member: 6145"] [COLOR="Blue"][I]Shot spreads out at a shorter distance when its coming out of a shorter barrel. Notice most people hunt with a 28" bbl.[/I][/COLOR] a 20" barrel with a modified choke (or any choke) vs. a 28" barrel with the same choke will produce the same pattern. the lenght of the barrel, given 1) the same choke 2) the length on both barrels is at least 18" - will be the same. shorter barrels only controlled the spread/pattern in older fixed choked guns when the barrel was cut off BEOFRE the choke, resulting in an open/cylinder choked gun - the widest spread available. if you cut off the barrel further down the barrel, after the choke, the choke still controlled the pattern. so a shorter gun, shorter barrel was faster to swing, but had no effect on the pattern.
