So then, Patterned Browning Half, 3/4 and Light Full chokes using Eley Superbs 7.5s at Sporting targets over easter at Sporting targets. Shot them at 35m. I haven't included the Half choke as it was so sparse I treated it with disdain. The 3/4 choke came in at 80% dense and shooting 150 Practice blew most targets up. The light full came in at 83" and was lovely and dense. 70yd crossers were dispatched with aplomb. Great choke that. I have also added the 3/4 choke and an Eley Titanium 7's and this shows up to be about 8" tighter on the diameter as you can see. Certainly, what they did on the long stuff or the edgy trap birds was enough to give me the confidence I need to use them on bigger targets at Sporting Shoots. Overall, an enlightening and positive experience. The halfs will be good out to 30m (in my mind), but although it was an even pattern, it was VERY sparse. I will probably buy myself another Light Full I believe and shoot 2 of those. Great patterns overall and I have greater respect for the Eley Cartridges than I did before. Super(b) patterns as I am sure you will concur.
What is immediately apparent, is that the measured designation is nothing like how the choke patterns.
