For modern 1200 fps ammo loaded with plastic wads and shotcups I think cylinder is an excellent choke.

Apparently from Garwood's writings it is not an effective choke when used with overshot card cartridges. Garwood writes that open chokes give cartwheel patterns when used with an overshot card.

I hunt mostly Bobwhites over pointing dogs and cylinder to 5 thousandths in both barrels is perfectly fine with me if I am shooting platic wads and shotcups.

If I were to specify chokes for my Bobwhite hunting I would go with cylinder and 15 thousandths. 10 thousandths of the 15 thousandths is for my ego.

Best,

Mike
