This is a bit late but there is a guy named Lowell Tennyson 563-381-3711. He does excellent work.

It is an enlargement of the bore prior to the muzzle and is said to have the same effect as a restriction at the bore.

All the information I have put together from people who shot round balls out jug choked barrel is there is no difference. Danny Caywood jug choked the barrel of my current build, talking to him on the phone he said people who's barrels he worked on had good accuracy with round balls.

I will know in a few more weeks as my English Fowler is almost done.

If that is true, then there isn't much down side to jug choking.  Thanks for setting the record straight!  I hope you post your results... :bl th up

How much of an enlargement in the bore are we talking about? .001-.010 or more like .010- .030 or more?
