It is well noted I did not state I "Believed" that Lefever's taper choke would produce 75% patterns with all sizes of Drop Shot, no lees, from #8 through FF.
Also I have shot various Lefevers for the past 49 years & have noted no particular reduction in recoil resulting from that taper choke.
I do not actually recall Drew saying he particularly believed the Meriden Hype.
We both simply noted what the catalogs of the day said.
In much more recent times "over-boring" has received much press. It has been stated that increasing the bore diameter reduces the friction thus allowing for higher velocities while simultaneously reducing recoil. I didn't buy that Hype either.
