When the cone is excessively long the column of shot is apt to widen so as to occupy the greater diameter beyond the cartridge. Its subsequent compression to the diameter of the bore jams the pellets together, so causing a tendency to ball, or at any rate to deform them so as to interfere with their regular flight after leaving the muzzle.

Hmmm... Seems we’ve read the same thing about chokes going abruptly from the 12 bore barrel to the cone of the choke and that’s why Parker’s chokes are cut ogee (ogive).
