I can only assume that you are joking that the forces involved are not obvious. Seriously. Are you truly incapable pf visualizing that?


No, I'm not joking. Seriously not joking. Would you be so kind as to enumerate the forces and moments at work within the shot column during choke passage. What instantaneous forces and moments are present at the muzzle?

I can easily visualize these little spheres with all sorts of force and moment vectors acting on them. Unfortunately I don't know any way to know the value or direction of said forces and moments. It does me no good to know there forces and moments unless I can know direction and value. Do you know any way to use this information in a prediction formula?

DDA crazy


I would be reduced to drawing pictures with little circles and arrows and I'm not gonna do that. The vector directions are easily perceived and the calculations/"equation" that you want are respectively not something possible except in an idealized (worthless) state and not I would even consider doing for free and the elements of variable stacking and individual choke configuration obviates the derivation of any equation in the real world as you well know.
I can however confidently predict that more choke constriction will generally produce smaller and denser patterns at any given distance. Usually.

P.S. BrentD is clearly pulling your chain. No one can be that obtuse and write mostly proper sentences. Wake up, Rocketman
