I shoot trap at 16yds with an extra full choked Beretta (0.685) If I used spreaders I wonder how much difference that would make on my hit percentage. For grouse in the woods I like a 30" barrel, choked modified or less, sometimes full in the left and mod to open in the right. I don't miss too many unless I'm slow off the starting line. Just not sure what spreaders would achieve in my case. I think you might be a MUCH better shot than me.

Would the X-Stream spreaders work in a 10 bore? Mine is choked very tight but I don't want to open it.

They "work" in any gauge. How much they open the pattern is a result of many factors, but gauge is not one of them, IMO. The working principle is the same regardless the bore size.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Some before and after pictures. The hole in the pattern board is 4" for reference, D= 16 yds ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ofuM9ib.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/bRN0O92.jpg)

You used a spreader for the second one? Looks a little more like what you want to achieve.

Nice result. How much did you open it?

Nice result. How much did you open it? Quite a bit. 0.020 or close to it.
