"I have a pair of Sweet Sixteens, one made in '62 the other in '73, both factory original and marked ** (modified). The older gun has .030" choke, the newer one .015". Go figure..."

GF1 of those two sixteen gauges, do they both have the same bore. Just measuring choke really tells you very little if you don't measure what the bore is.

For all my target shooting in 12 gauge vintage sxs, I shoot nothing but 3/4 oz. loads. I patterned the one set of 32" .041 constriction at 40 yards and was pleased with the number of #8 pellets in the 30" circle. This was off-hand and would have liked it to be rested for a proper pattern.
