Hello Gentlemen: I do not know if you aready know about this software. It simulates patterns with different chokes/pellet size/velocity/charge weight/ etc. It is free to download. http://www.blackbartsoftware.com/shotgun.htmI am not sure if it is accurate (and usefull) or just a passtime. I will be glad to know your opinions. Best,
Jose M. Fernandez

Thanks Jose, I didn't get a chance to download it yet but saved it. Might be good for a comparison to loads that were tried.

If you have any extra time, I'd recommend Dr. Andrew Jones's Shotgun Insights pattern analysis program. It automates the statistical analysis of real live patterns. It is very useful for comparisons of shotgun/load characteristics. It requires that you feed digital photos of patterns into the program. The output is real data as opposed to "I think ---," or "It looks to me like ---." If you haven't done so already, have a look at Neil Winston's test of one famous choke tube company's new product.

I can't find any reference to Neil's test Don.
Can you help a little more.

Found it now.
After reading it, it makes me even more cautious about spending money on after market chokes.
