Can i shoo this

Crow,
please go to and check the Colrain barrel website. It states they have made jug choked turkey barrels for sometime and also recommend against using a round ball in the jug choked barrel. They even have suggested loads with the information on their website.

http://colerainbarrel.com/barrels/Colerain doesn’t mention a jug choke. They talk about their 20ga barrel is restricted to .58 at the muzzle. That is not a jug choke.

Seems according to some, you should totally disregard what everyone else has told you and all the folks who have had great success with round ball from a properly jug choked barrel,,, not a back bored or constriction choked barrel,,,, a jug choked barrel

Factual information is routinely ignored here. I'm not sure why that is.

Simple answer: Newton's First Law of Motion.

Assuming the barrel is straight, the ball will be going straight with a hell of a lot of momentum in that straight line by the time it hits the mildly jugged section. It simply sails right on through to the other side and out the muzzle as it would through the air.

If the ball is supported by a patch, the effect of the choke is even less. A possible explanation for this is the choke isn't large enough for the patched ball to lose its seal, but regardless it works and works well.

Some might even postulate that the "plasma ring" or whatever they want to call it that keeps a bare ball centered in the bore rather than skipping its way down the bottom of the barrel would simply enlarge and constrict again, keeping the ball centered throughout its trip.

I would go with the 'plasma ring' similar to keeping a ball supported in the air above a blast of compressed air.
