What would possess a person to even think .039" in a .550" bore made sense? I've had several repros with full chokes and never measured anything tighter than mid to upper 20 thous. My 24" VH came with .022" L&R, and when rarely connected, powdered clays, but I would consider it way too tight for Woodcock.

Without question! Cramming 1/2 - 5/8 oz through that hole is going to yield a very unpredictable shot column.
