Figure choke from pellet count ?
May be a simple answer to this one. Trying to figure out if the very worn VH I just bought has had the chokes altered. Not concerned with the pattern just has it been altered.
Right barrel constriction is about .002 left about .005, 26 inch 12 gage. Wall thickness mid point is just under .040, lot more than I would have expected. It has records and have ordered a letter. Letter from another VH I own says. "RH 230 LH 280 pellets of # 7 in a 30 inch circle @ 40 yards"
New charts don't show # 7 and I don't know for sure what the charge was. May be able to assume 1 1/8 and use 7 1/2 counts or perhaps not.
Assuming the letter I just ordered has the same sort of description what is the best way to correlate number of pellets to how the chokes measure 100 years later ?
