Choke level in DBBL SXS
hello our experienced IFG Members
Which type of choke level are the best ( In Imported and Indian made DBBL SXS)Improved Choke , full choke or others type etc.
According to my knowledge( may be I am wrong) all Indian made DBBL SXS shotgun are with a full Choke Level and Imported are with different type of like skeet, Improved choke, and Full Choke etc.

with pistol it is not the way to post the answer. It is not seems good for experienced IFG member

Re: Choke level in DBBL SXS
To put it simply, a choke is a constriction.Tighter the choke, tighter the shot pattern. Now I assume that you know what shot pattern is. If not, please google it. What type of choke you need depends on the purpose you intend to use your shotgun. Please read the following short write-up.Once you read it, ask the questions you want, and we can have a discussion going.Himachal wrote:hello our experienced IFG Members

Best-Understanding Shotgun Chokes
A brief explanation by Briley
If you are new to shooting and do not understand shotgun chokes, do not be surprised. Seventy five percent of shotgun shooters that have shot for many years do not understand shotgun chokes either. Let us start at the beginning. Shotgun chokes were designed to control pattern diameters at different yards. What is a pattern? It is just the grouping of the pellets at a given yardage. This grouping is called a pattern and is measured by a circle diameter. This particular circle must have certain efficiency. In other words, it has to have a certain number of pellets in a given area (called distribution) for it to be labeled an efficient pattern. It is that easy! However the confusion starts when we label them and you try to figure out what to use and when.
Here is a quick reference chart:
Shotgun Choke Yardage Shotgun Choke Restriction
Diameter difference between bore and shotgun choke
Cylinder < 20 0
Skeet 22.5 .005 of an inch
Improved Cylinder 25 .010
Light Modified 30 .015
Modified 32.5 .020
Improved Modified 35 .025
Light Full 37.5 .030
Full 40 or More .035
Extra Full 40 or More .040
What is all that suppose to mean? It is confusing to most people. Before we answer this let us examine how a shotgun barrel is constructed. A shotgun is basically a big pipe, the hole in it we call the bore ( purple ); see figure below. At one end, where the shell goes in, we call this the chamber (yellow), the hole of the chamber is bigger than the bore and the transition area between the chamber and the bore is called the forcing cone (brown). The choke of the barrel, colored red, is located at the other end of the barrel. The transition area between the choke and the bore is called the tapered or the conical part (teal) of the choke; this area provides us with the transition geometry between the shotgun choke and the bore of the shotgun. Now you can visualize what it all looks like, so “within limits” the tighter or smaller you make the choke hole, the tighter the pattern at yardage.
Good Shotgun Chokes, Bad Shotgun Chokes. Why are some shotgun chokes so much better than other ones. There is undoubtedly a great deal of science in making the perfect shotgun choke and none of the knowledge keepers are too eager to share it. While the diameter difference between the bore and choke may be one of the shotgun chokes ingredients the science is in the macro details and factors such as material, length of barrel, shotgun choke geometry, and finishes as well ammunition are where the secrets are hidden. Simply put, “God did not create all chokes equal!”
Ok, so how does a shotgun choke actually work? Let us begin first with an easy metaphor, a child in out in the back yard playing with a garden hose. He discovers that if he puts his thumb on the end of the hose it goes further. That, kind of, is similar to what happens with a shotgun. Now for the scientific explanation by a nuclear engineer named Robert Hedrick. In a nutshell, his computer model and 35 years of research explains it in this way. There are two forces that tell the story; the mechanical properties while the shot column is in the barrel and the dynamic forces of nature that affect the shot column after it exits the barrel. When the shot column meets up with the choke it forces the column to squeeze tighter together; these forces are called radial forces. Once it is out of the barrel, wind resistance and gravity act on it. When the wind comes into contact with the outside pellets of the shot column it induces spinning and they start to flare off like a ping pong ball with english on it. The tighter the choke the heavier the radial forces, the tighter the pellets are squeezed together so the pattern holds tighter over a longer distance. Conversely, the less restriction you have in the shotgun choke the more loosely the pellets are held together and the faster the pattern opens up.
There you have it! You now know more about shotgun chokes than 98 percent of the shooters in the world.

Re: Choke level in DBBL SXS
Before we go into talking about chokes, it is important to understand the principle on which chokes work. To understand the working of choke, one can take example of water jet coming out of a rubber pipe fitted to a tap. If you reduce the size of opening of rubber pipe with your thumb or put a nozzle on it, the water jet pressure will increase while going through small opening and go a longer distance. But it has a limit. Also if you increase the pressure from behind by opening the tap more, the water jet will go longer distance. This also has a limit.Which type of choke level are the best ( In Imported and Indian made DBBL SXS)Improved Choke , full choke or others type etc.
Choke level that is best for one purpose may not be best for some other purpose. Reason: the amount of spread of pellets that is desired may not be appropriate for all purposes. Similarly a choke type that is best for a particular type of cartridge may not be best for some other cartridge type. Reason: amount and quality of powder used and projectile weight etc. will produce different results. If the velocity is more, the spread will be slightly less because in a given unit time, the bunch of projectiles will be able to travel more before they spread. It is similar to increasing water pressure by opening the tap more, you increase the velocity of water causing the jet of water to go a longer distance before spreading.
This is the reason shotgun makers in foreign countries make shotguns that can accommodate detachable chokes, so that one may use the type of choke best suited for the purpose/gun/cartridge. Therefore it is important to first decide what is the purpose then decide about the choke type.
All Indian DBBL SXS are not usually full choke in both barrels. Usually the left barrel has more choke than the right barrel. Same should be the case with imported ones but I am not very sure. But these days foreign shotgun manufacturers make shotguns with changeable chokes. But I do not think such kind of shotguns or chokes are available in India.all Indian made DBBL SXS shotgun are with a full Choke Level and Imported are with different type of like skeet, Improved choke, and Full Choke etc.
