Round Balls in Choked Shotgun
06/08/09 12:13 PM

Our resident guru, Daryl_S has often told us about his method of shooting round balls from a choked shotgun with great success. I have been fascinated by his practice, but I have never taken the task on.

Lately I have been reading the classic work of W.W. Greener, The Gun and Its Development, 9th Edition. Just yesterday I came on a passage that substantiates everything Daryl has said on these forums. I scanned the pages (pp. 390-392) and will now present them to you. The interesting stuff begins just below the middle of page 391 and continues onto 392.

Page 390

Pay particular attention starting with the paragraph that begins, "Choke bore guns may be used as ball guns . . ."

Page 391:

So there is the word from 100 years ago given by an authority in the design and manufacture of shotguns.

Daryl_S has it right.

Best,
Curl
