    You should really pattern your gun on a pattern plate. Different cartridges produce different patterns/densities in different guns.

    Some cartridges leave big gaps in the pattern while others are fairly consistent. This is especially relevant if you're shooting snipe/woodcock at ranges of 40 yards plus. The little buggers can slip unhurt through the pellet spread if there are big gaps.

    Try your gun at 1/4 and 1/2, then try it again at 1/2 and 3/4 and see how the pattern looks. Look for an even spread across the circle of the pattern. If you can't achieve that with any choke, then try a different brand of cartridge.
