As Dean says

Choke is based on a percentage of the shot in a 30” circle at 40 yards (except for .410 I think)

Pick a pellet size and load. Count the pellets in that load and then fire a few at a pattern board - count the holes in the circle and average it out

BTW. Different pellet sizes may pattern a just a little different in the same gun. So go with the load you will use
