They throw very good patterns, 1/4 choke tighter than marked compared to my browning 325 chokes!!! You should never need more than 1/2 choke on the longest sporting targets, 1/2 and 3/4 for any trap, including OT with 24g loads.
Thats what I suspected! I've only used 1/4 &1/2 at my local ground but they seem to really make a job of even the longest shots and thats using fibre wads as well. I'm not much of a choke twiddler but was even thinking of going down to cyl & 1/4 for the closer stuff.
Strictly speaking no, it is possible though that Beretta has decided to have a giggle marketing wise with a play on words but as long as you remember nothing throws more open than Cyl there's no harm.
Even the links seem to list Cyl as .733 against Sk as .728 though.
Yes but the point is that it's just a marketing ploy, all done for a larf. The most open pattern can only come from CYL, making the choke wider than having NO constriction makes no odds to the result, all it does is reduce the distance from barrel to target shorter by a few cm's, if that made a telling difference then just stand a tad closer to the bar in the stand.
:lol: Ah I see what your getting at now! So basically it's going to behave like another cylinder choke?Yes but the point is that it's just a marketing ploy, all done for a larf.

If I change my name to Hulk Hogan it don't mean I'd get receding hair and a mullet overnight do it ? :.:
Bingo
, there are well established ballistics, not absolutes but rules all the same. It is entirely possible for a given gun to throw wider patterns with say 1/4 choke using X shells than another gun using the same shells using Cyl or Skeet chokes but in essence a parallel tube can have it's pattern tightened by degrees using constriction - you cannot however, manipulate the pattern to throw wider without outside interference or help from for example so called spreader shells which have special wads or assembly techniques.
