HillBilly2 9 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I think the original idea was to vent the gas so it would not blast the exiting shot charge as much. The thinking was that the gas would make the patterns larger. I believe it was an idea that worked better in theory than practice, however a lot of tourney shootere are using vented barrels to improve pattern consistency. I do not think the vents on a poly chole will make much difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DINK 1 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 The slots enable the choke to act as a muzzle brake. A part of the recoil from any firearm is the jet of gas that follows the projectile out of the barrel. If you can divert that gas to the side, you will reduce recoil. The effectiveness of this varies greatly, depending on the cartridge, the firearm, and the design of the brake. The Poly-choke was an early design but were very popular for a long time. How effective the slots are in actually reducing recoil, I couldn't say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 By relieving the pressure from the back of the shot wad, the theory goes that the wad will seperate sooner and cleaner for tighter and more consistent patterns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

my762buzz 141 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) The polychoke is ok but pretty soon I plan on using this on my saiga12 instead of the polychoke. I like the patterns better. 3" Federal Premium 00 at 40yds. 10 pellets in 6 1/2" x 4 1/2" Edited October 25, 2008 by my762buzz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtnichols 51 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I am not sure what the slot are for,.... but I love my poly choke, it is amazing for getting a tight grouping using even light target load at 40 yards, much better than stock,... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
