The tightest patterns I've seen on paper were out of my .044 Sterly. I can't imagine. 039 in a 28 gauge. Is it possible that the shot gets deformed enough that it begins to throw fliers which spread the pattern?

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.

Let's hear from some other full choke 28 gauge Repro owners. Edgar says his are all in the 20s, and everyone I have heard from on the net says .039. OH, me too. The truth is, who cares?

You had me second guessing myself, Bill. I measured a bunch of guns yesterday, mostly 12s and .039 wouldn't shock me on a 12, but I was wondering if I was thinking 28. I looked at some chart I have glued in the top of my barrels tool box, and sure enough, .024 is "Extra Full" in a 28ga.
I'm not saying you haven't measured a bunch of Repros at .039" even though I haven't, which leads me back to my question; what would possess a person to choke a 28 so tightly?
And, to your point, Who cares?

My 28 gauge Repro M/F measured .040/.047. A little tight.
