@P.E. Kelley actually said,
Much respect.That's not how I do it, but that's not relevant.
Now, where can we buy your choke tubes?

Thanks for a great video! Well timed for me as my sons and I are getting into sporting clays.
Bore mic is the best way ($$) From 100 Straight Products. You can get away with a telescoping gauge and a micrometer or caliper.
Briley has a neat choke and chamber gauge that should work too.
Yes, the bore section before the choke section is good enough.
Ultimately you can just shoot it at a pattern board at 40 yards and glean enough info to know what choke you have and want.

Thank you kindly!

My chokes are Saiga/Vepr style external chokes. m22x.75 thread pitch. I created them to fill the void for use on those guns and more pointedly for the Genesis Arms Gen12 shotgun.

Mr. Kelley, excellent video. Thank you for sharing. A couple of quick questions on barrel length, how much influence does length have vs. the choke used? Will a 14" cylinder bore be less effective than one with an 18" barrel?
My SBS (Rem 870) has a 14" barrel that is marked cylinder bore. I'd like it to shoot tighter patterns so I can reach out a bit farther. I was thinking on having it threaded for chokes, IC initially but after watching your video I'm not sure that is the choke I need.
I'm also interested to hear what impacts, if any, there are with shooting slugs as you go with tighter chokes. Thanks for any input you can share!
Barrel length has very little to do with pattern. The difference in pattern is within the difference in comparative barrel lengths. In other
words...14" vs 34". With the 34 putting you less than a step closer to the target! (20").
While IC is the "standard" for slugs...bore ID is a major player in slug accuracy. I have yet to find a slug that begins its journey down the
bore larger than .728". 12 bores can run from .725"- .740". Vang Comp barrels can be 745-750!!! Bad for slugs.
You wouldn't expect a 308 rifle bullet to shoot well from a 312 bore. Slugs work the same way.
Best results for slugs are in the neighborhood of .725-.730 bore with a IC to Mod choke. My favorite is Light Mod across the board!
Thanks for asking. I collet data so I CAN share it.
