According to the writings I have of V M Starr, the grand old man of m/l shotgunning, he choked his old original English m/l shotguns, though I cannot find where he actually said he jug choked them. I always assumed that's what he did, because I cannot think of another way he would have choked them himself. He commented that he had an 11 bore Moore that would shoot 80% patterns with duck loads. I have always had a question about how he overcame the problem of swaging the wads as they passed through the choke, then having loose wads in the load.

Does anyone have any other writings of Starr's that would address the actual jug choking, and the wads he used and how he overcame the aforementioned problem?

Thanks much, SRH
