In two shotguns with the same choke, will barrel length play a factor in the patterning of one over the other? I.e., would a 21" barrel with a Modified choke be expected to produce a different pattern density as a 28 or 30" barrel with an identical choke?
Obviously each shotgun may be a law unto itself but for the sake of argument let's assume all else is the same - same load, same exact constriction - in fact consider the same choke tube screwed into two barrels of different length mounted on the same gun. However, given that the longer barrel may produce a higher velocity would that enter into the equation?
I'm guessing the difference in barrel lengths only would not affect the pattern density but wanted to ask since I've never patterned anything with same/same chokes and different barrel lengths.
