Apples and oranges, probably. Turkey through tight chokes, using latest-greatest non-tox, and I might not be surprised.

After all, when you polish the bore you are increasing relative constriction. See this with refinished guns that have bores lapped to get rid of pits, when the shop fails to address the choke section. A "mod" stamped gun can become a factual full-choke gun. Anyone besides me old enough to have heard of Stan Baker?

Patterns, gaussian (Rayleigh) by definition, can be tighter or more open. The word "better" is subjective and applies only if tighter or more open is what you happen to desire.
