Here’s one I don’t say I’ve ever seen tested nor heard anyone talk about and I’m thinking it has some bearing on the outcome. Lots of guys ask for choke advice. We all know varying shot sizes like dif choke constrictions. But has anyone checked barrel length with chokes. I’d think a longer barrel has got to allow stringing out of shot even if very slightly. I’d bet that matters.
I know w at least some loads, the ones I’ve tested, longer barrels often pattern very well yet all the rage is short barrels.
Think about something 4” of barrel, something that guys really sweat, I’d bet almost never if ever has any bearing on making a shot. If longer is better it’d not be worth the sacrifice.
Today’s turkey loads have lots of “tricks” in em to keep patterns from blowing up but I’m curious if anyone has actually done a barrel length test as in same gun/choke combo in dif length barrels and what the results were? Want to add obviously I’m referring here to the tight turkey chokes
