E.G. My best patterns come from a 16 Ga. #2 AyA with Imp. Cyl. and Mod barrels and those same loads pattern terrible in a 16 Ga. Browning choked mod.


If you're referring to an A-5, Standardweight or Sweet 16, it's very likely the Browning has a lot more constriction than does the Mod barrel of the AyA. The Belgian Brownings were typically choked tighter than most other guns of the same gauge.
