I'll jump into the middle here , Just asking as I would like to be able to measure my chokes accurately ! As for the expensive gauge , it is but in the long run ,I feel it has saved me a bundle by knowing if the "" Expensive ""Gun I just purchased is safe to shoot or has thin barrel walls ,with that said ,I prefer Perfect barrels but if they are not I much prefer pitted to honed as with the Wall thickness tool ,I can generally measure the pits and come out with a pretty good idea of what I have ! As for loads ,I prefer a low recoil but mostly for the sake of the Old Wood on the Classic Older Guns I normally carry to the Field , because I have already measured the Barrels and feel they are safe ! Just my thoughts on the subject for what it's worth and usually these days I shoot RST Ammo !
