All the labeling of choke and hole counting answers little for the hunter or practical shooter. What a shooter wants to know is; what does my pattern out of this barrel/choke look like at a given distance?

A 30" 75% pattern out of a 410 with #6 shot may not be dense enough for the hunter's needs.

More relavent to the hunter may be: how big is an effective killing pattern out of my x gauge gun with x choke and x load/shot at a given distance.
