"Possibly the most remarkable measured feat with the shot-gun ever recorded was that which Lord Walsingham was so kind as to send to us in 1887. The performance was two rights and two lefts at wild duck in full feather. The measured distances were all over eighty yards and ran up to 112 yards...with...3 1/4 dr. Hall's 'Field B', 1 1/8 oz No. 5 Derby shot, 12b cylinder Purdey (not choked.)"

My 08' VH was choked .006 and .038 (note 'was'), and most c. 1900 Continental guns were cylinder and 'choke bore' or full.
