It won't be opened up any more than the wad and the diameter of the hole in the loud end. All shot paterns open up once they leve the bbl- some, as with extended ex-full chokes open up much much less than yours will in the same distance.

I think the only way to truely determine how your pattern behaves is to put it to the paper- 4x4 cardboards, box of shells, thermos of coffee, quality range time, friends, burnt powder... What could make life better?
