And I should add that counting pellets is a PITA  JC

I just shoot them, I figure chokes give you a couple inches of pattern either way and I usually miss by feet not inches.
BTW, my 30" Korean assembled BSS is marked Full & Modified, I assume but don't really care if it is in fact so chocked.

I find I don't hit any more birds if I count pellets on a pattern board at 40 yds than if I just shoot at a board for a eyeball swag at pattern density at various distances I expect to use. Counting still requires correlation to hunting performance as does visual assessment of a pattern.

And I should add that counting pellets is a PITA JC And I put put it right up there with counting sheep JC.  If the pattern looks good that is good enough in my book, .... if not, well maybe there is room for quantitate analysis.
Good Shooting

I have two 30"s and they are both marked Full & Full, never measured them though. I think all BSS were supposed to be IC/M if 26", M/F if 28". But every time we say "all" in these cases, exceptions seem to turn up. (Not sure what the 30" 12ga guns were choked.)

Got the choke gage yesterday. Its a graduated brass cylinder which you insert into the bore. It looks like you get a bore diameter measure. Anywho barrels, via this tool, show "cylinder and I/cylinder". I'll pattern it.

I have a 26" 12ga BSS with Briley chokes in it and don't feel any remorse for having installed them. It got a lot of use and gave a lot more utility having those screw-in chokes. These days, it doesn't see much action, with all the other guns I have, but it comes out on rainy days.
