Michael,

Is it correct to extrapolate from what you posted about tight chokes to forcing cones? Or, is steel shot moving too slowly going through forcing cone to cause damage (with those thick plastic wads)? How long should forcing cone be to reasonably avoid damage from steel shot loads?

Thanks,
Niklas
