Re: barrel flex - I know barrel flex can be a factor in rifle shooting, especially with the very high performance/muzzle velocity/muzzle energy cartridges... but not with a shotgun that was bored and choked to produce consistent patterns of pellet count in a specific dia. circle at a specific yardage. Barrel flex in a rifle might cause variations of fractions of an inch at 100 yards or some other specific yardage but a variation of fractions of an inch, or even an inch or two in a shotgun won't make a bit of difference at 40 yards.
