If you want to read about choke, go to Choke in Birdguns thread. It was discussed thoroughly with lots of opinions. King, interesting you have noticed waterfowl guns that shoot harder than others. I believe some guns shoot 'harder' than others. But why???? Barrel dynamics are complicated. In the live bird ring I saw guns which seemed to shoot hard. Others were feather blowers. I think it has to do with the forcing cones. Guns with relieved forcing cones don't seem to shoot as hard as others with tighter cones IMO. I have no scientific data to support my claim but this is what I have observed.....the last barrel alteration I would make to a live bird gun would be to lengthen the forcing cone.
The legendary Voodoo Barrel that not only defies reason but the best accepted laws of the physical universe. And I thot that the music people had some wonderful alternatives to Newtonian physics! Not that you folks can equal them, not by a large margin, but you are a total hoot to read.
I've been thinking of writing a text book of alternative physical laws/universes that are conjured by special (special ed?? hahaha) groups to sell in the mid-west since science there is a way fluid topic.
