Taken from the link I posted to Hallowell's ........
"The dimensions used in the above table are rules of thumb. Bore measurements by micrometer are useful to predict the pattern thrown by a shotgun barrel, but they remain merely a prediction. The only way to determine the actual pattern thrown by a shotgun barrel is to shoot it, by convention at 40 yards, count the percentage of pellets falling within a 30" circle placed around the visual center of the pattern (as in the right-hand column of the above chart), then do it a few more times and take an average."
