My questions are:

1. Does a full choke shotgun hae more "felt recoil" than the same shotgun and load, with a cylinder choke? Does the squeezing down process increase felt recoil?

2. Using the same shotgun and load, would the muzzle velocity be different between a full choke vs. a cylinder choke? Is there an effect due to the squuezing down?

3. Similarly, would a new overbore shotgun (.740") have less felt recoil than an older tight bore (.727")? Any velocity difference?

THANKS.

Use KISS principle and like good Ole' Englishman buy lighter loads with less muzzle velocity (which for 12 is 1oz to 1&1/8oz at 1100 to 1200fps). The problem should go away.
