That’s correct depending on how you read the statement. Cylinder choke is the widest spread. No constriction, wide spread and as distance increases, so does the size of that pattern. The tighter the choke the farther the pattern stays “close” and is dense enough to crush a target or cancel a game bird’s flight.
Mike:

A full reading of the impromptu discussion on some conjectured anomalous effects of choke boring vs. those of true cylinder suggest to me a different conclusion. That may be just me –- I have been puzzling over the points made ever since they arose on 7-21-21.

The digression was in the thread started by Jay announcing the purchase of a pre-choke era cylinder bore Parker hammer gun.
