    To be honest, I think that choke mean buggers all when you arr forcing the case down the bore.
    Cyl to full is typically 40 thou (1mm) constriction from memory - and from the chamber to bore you are pushing alot more than that

    Another thing to consider is that size shot from the USA differs in pellet diameter to that of UK and also from Italy. A No.3 shot from USA is 3.6mm dia, which is approximately the same as a No.1 from UK, and falls in between 1 and 2 from Italy.
    UK no.3 is approx the same size as USA no.4 (3.3mm). Bottom line - shells from the USA have bigger pellets than UK and Italy (for the same designated sizing).
    Also, muzzle velocity is measured at the muzzle for UK/Europe shells, but 3 feet out from the muzzle in USA. That 3 feet does make a difference to velocities for steel (which slows much quicker than lead), meaning when comparing velocity, USA if going faster than the equivalent UK shells.
    All sounds pretty boring, but it does make a big difference - particularly the shot size comparison.
    Everyone is entitled to their own stupid opinion

    Why would the wad not exit the barrel? Serious question
    , does it collapse?

    Opps, wrong way round. We had a shot go pop the other day, shot sort of came out but stuck wad. Just luck one of the boys noticed.

    so a wad if its doesnt exit and they all do is serious because when the nxt wad hits the last plastic wad theres to much pressure? or when jokes ova and there where no shot filld shells in the gun anyway ,check the gun and carry on!

    Your very right Wirehunt ,the next shell could split the barrel its full length due to excess pressure.The guy holding it could very likely end up in A & E. Quite scarey ,I wouldn't want to be responsible .

    the wad is just behind the shot pushing it , if theres no shot it must go faster and exit better , be worried if it didnt exit with no shot because with shot it is more likely to get stuck isnt it?

    Wouldn't put money on that happening with a full or even 3/4 choke.Lost count of the number of times I've wads stuck in barrels at the gun club.Any shooter that does it twice ,its on ya bike clown .
