With modern ammo once you get to about 25 to 30k in a 12 gauge, any additional constriction does little to tighten the pattern.
Also, with modern ammo, going tighter than 50k might actually open your pattern. |

Good thing we don’t shoot modern ammo in our classic shotguns!

Just a fyi. I did 2 test patterns with shells i got from my dad that were made in the late 30's or early 40s. They were 1 oz 12 ga 4 s. I did 2 test at 40 yds bench rest with .035 choke and got 80% both times. So from the 2 shots i tested was just as good as "modern amo". I too think there is a limit to choke construction before it blows the pattern.

While not a fixed choke gun , I once had a custom made choke tube for a 12 ga that was .660" and about 4" long . It patterned everything between #8 to #5s extremely tight but uniform .
Would be interesting to see how a fixed choke that tight patterns . |

No I haven't. Steve Barnett has had it for sale for a while. I have a Fox CE straight grip with 32 inch barrels. It's not quite as tight but as I don't need two I'll take the Parker back and sell the Fox. I was going to get it at the southern but now will wait for Hauemans
