All four of the 8's I've fooled with had plenty choke in them hence the reason for the sizes I ordered . I also took into acount the petals on the SP-8 wads . By no means did I wanna get it to tight .
The PH 8 I have left the factoru for a lumber company in the pan handle of FL and in the letter it says "to shoot close with buckshot" . I assume they had a gator or possibly black bear problem as this woulda been before the sub species of black bear in the FL pan handle became endangered .
Anyway that PH is the most open at the muzzle of any I've had . And I ordered the .795" specifically for it . Since then I screwed up my nerves and tried that ball in the others with pleasing results .
I suppose I'm overly cautiouse with the cannons , but it's a darn site easier and cheaper to order another $40 mold than it is to repair a ruptured barrel .
