Hi all!

I am wondering what the differences in barrel length in shotguns equate to. I would think that a longer barrel will give a tighter pattern than a slightly shorter barrel would at the same range. Is this true?

I would also like to specifically talk about the difference in 26" compared to 28" as well as the applications of a 20" barrel. (I am considering a coach gun and would like to do some hunting with it.)

and finally I am wondering how chokes play into this.

Post up!
