Mr. Kid- You are correct that Mr. Starr extolled the virtues of the jug choke (he was apparently well-known for his ability to cut these into cylinder barrels). In fact he states that his method is meant for choked barrels, and I agree will not likely perform magic in a cylinder bore. Some shooters are experimenting with oiled cloth "shot cups" in cylinder bore guns and may be finding denser patterns with these; I am not sure about this but the oiled cloth does cut out any barrel leading for sure. My own results so far with an unchoked muzzleloader lead me to believe that a modest powder charge with a somewhat larger-in-volume shot charge will give best the results in a traditional cylinder bored muzzleloading shotgun.
