The original question was "How to improve performance of Cyl choke".  
 1. Get close
 2. Get closer
 
 
 I've always thought that a shotcup designed for steel shot, but useing your favorite lead shot, might produce a tighter pattern in a open choked barrel.  Anyone have any experience here?

I know how to read and sometimes follow instructions...   Did you send Dave his $10 bucks for that Bismuth shot you gave away for $100 bucks in the for sale section ? |  |  |

Chuck's idea must certainly show some improvement in patterns.  I haven't tried it, only because I don't own any such wads. |  |  |

Bill,The first two would, for sure.  I'm wondering if the shotcup idea would work.
