Even if we only look at the radius of the pattern to determine the aiming error/allowance, a 22" pattern will still have 22% more error/allowance than an 18" pattern.
Exactly right, which is what we
should be looking at, as you put it. Not at a 50% increase in total area, that is if we are trying to evaluate our increased chance at hitting a target by opening choke constriction.
Miller, that is what I meant exactly, with the exception of my dumb error of stating the actual 2" increased radius as 4".
