I've found that less choke is needed with 3/4oz loads. The shorter shot column means less pellet deformation on the back end, hence more shot in the pattern. A tighter choke would really give a tight, full pattern. When FETIC shooters had to go from 1 1/4 to 1oz they thought scores would fall, but they didn't. They went up because of less recoil and the patterns were the same. Also, in the International clay games they only use a bit under 7/8.
