How are chokes opened?
Most original chokes are a straight taper that start anywhere from 4-2" back from the muzzle, out to the muzzle. When a choke is opened is that taper changed?
I asked this question once before and still am not clear. The impression I got was that a parallel section is reamed after the taper, from the muzzle back. This would open the choke but also shorten the choke cone.
Suppose your gun had a choke cone that was 4" long and .030 choke that went from .729 down to .699 along that 4". Mike opens the gun up to .010 choke. Is the cone still 4" long but with a different angle of tapered cone? Or do you have a shorter cone that tapers at the same angle and then a parallel section out to the muzzle?
Thanks, Rob
