I am not positive what that equates to but it sounds like full and full. If that isn't correct some one please say so.
Wayne,

.796 and .730? That's a .066 difference. So either the barrels have been honed or they are oversized/overbored right from the factory (which is possible). At some point right before the last 3 inches of choke they may come down from .796 for a little bit and then go down to .730.

That would be some choke if it is .066. An XXXX full? .045 is very tight in the ten. Maybe blown patterns due to the constriction? Or did you mean to type .766 since you wrote that you had .030 choke?
