I've never had any disagreement with shot stringing, although the exact process probably has some variability and unknowns lurking about, and the consequences are subject to debate. After all, a shot string six feet long @ 900 fps will all reach the target in .0067 seconds. A bird flying across at 35 mph will only move about 4" during that time if my quick calculation is correct. If you have a 30" evenly spread pattern, that is pretty inconsequential. My whole discussion was based on disagreement with the comment that the force required to move a 1oz. load in a smaller gauge was greater than in a larger gauge. You have agreed that is the case.
