Generally speaking, the tighter the constriction the longer the taqper. If the choke tapers too quickly damage to the shot pellets may occur, causing flyers and disturbing the pattern and the Parker Bros. barrel borers and finishers knew this.

What is your choke constriction in thousandths of an inch and how long are the choke tapers?

Dean,

The right barrel is 0.025, the left is 0.039. Both start constricting about 4.5” in from the muzzle.
