The Georgia Project: Part 2: full chokes deliver longer shot strings by Brezny, L.P. / Wildfowl This theory is based upon pellet deformation: with a high chamber pressure and exit velocity, the lead shot in 3-1/4 drams equivalent loads tend to be mashed in the chamber and bore by both the setback forces of firing and the squeezing and jamming of payload passage through the narrow points of a barrel (like the forcing cone and choke).
