Choke constrictions
Any one have a table that shows the actual measurements for the various chokes such as IC, Mod. or Full by gauge?

The actual measurement of the choke depends on your bore diameter.

Chokes usually go like this:

Cylinder= bore diameter or no choke
Skeet= .005" tighter than bore diameter
Improved Cylinder= .010"....
Light Mod= .015"...
Mod=.020"
Improved Mod= .025"
Full = .030"

Etc....

Bore diameter, especially 12ga., will be different if you have one of the newer overbored guns. Invector Plus tubes, etc.
