Does anyone know how the RST spreaders perform in a cylinder bore barrel? Do they require constriction to throw a full pattern? As always, thank you for any advice... I'm trying to pick a gun for the first day of grouse and woodcock. I have RST #6s and RST spreaders in #7.

You wont see any difference in cylinder bore, you need constriction for them to throw an open pattern.

Do you have proof of that, RA? I have never understood that to be the case. It goes against the concept I have of how spreaders work.

Not being argumentative, just really interested. I go through a lot fo spreaders in a year.

Hey Stan, it's from research and patterning and experience. I know, read everything with a grain of salt,and every user has different results. But I do use them and they preform better in my tighter choked barrels, I won't say certainty you can't get a more open pattern with cylinder but I feel its negligible considering the type of shooting involved. For me at least the difference in tighter choked barrels is significant compared to the use in cylinder or bore. I know what I posted was a blanket statement but based on the different test preformed out there and what I've experienced the result are pretty much the same. Just my two cents on a very broad and sometimes controversial subject!

Seems to me spreaders through a cylinder bore might result in excessive spread. But I have to admit I've never patterned spreaders through a cylinder bore. Nor have I compared cylinder to barrels that have dispersion rifling.

There is a rabbit target set on my home course right now that is VERY close. It's really a "dumb" presentation, IMO, as no-one in their right mind would shoot game that close. But, there it is. I normally shoot .020" and .020" fixed chokes and use a spreader for the close stuff. In this case I've been using another gun for the rabbit, with a cylinder bored tube, and a Fiocchi Interceptor spreader. It seems to be working for me. I'll just be glad when they get rid of that presentation. I'd rather shoot a 50 yard hard crosser, on edge, than a rabbit target that's less than 10 yards away.

I'll try to shoot a few out of the cylinder bored gun on the plate, and take some pics, sometime.

Thanks for the reply, RA.

Hey no problem, I would like to see the results as well! I have a few RST and Polywd, I'll do the same, what would be your parameters as I will repeat them!

I have observed little to no difference in IC choke using my home loaded spreaders.
With 16 gauge spreader loads in improved modified barrel I get a nice modified pattern.
So, I am in the group that thinks you need substantial choke to see a difference with spreader loads

Your results may vary.

Three shots with cylinder tube installed, with regular 1 oz. loads, photographed individually.

Then, three shots with same tube and Fiocchi Interceptor 1 oz. loads, photographed individually.

Then, three shots with cylinder tube installed and Kent Spreaders, 1 oz. load, photographed individually.

That ought to let us know how a spreader works out of a cylinder bored gun.
