They say the 4 bore guns will kill at 100 yards if they're loaded heavy and held right. I killed a mallard drake with one at pushing 80 yards, an old school long shore gunner was standing at my shoulder as a coach. Would like to go over there and do it one more time, particularly flighting the pinkfoot geese with a big bore.

I am interested to know the boring, internal design, and choking of these big bores relative to the "long range 12's" and 10's.

Is it all relative and the same or does it all change as we increase bore diameter?

Becker might have known.
