So where are all the HW57's hiding ??

Hmmm, sounds most unsatisfactory and odd? As has been said before, a choked barrel may or may not be better than an unchoked one in many cases. But if we're talking barrels with tighter spots earlier in the barrel, a choke has to be a good thing? But this arrangement sounds bizarre and would surely benefit from some strangling!

I agree Tony. The 57 has the potential to modify the pellet as it jumps from the loading port into the barrel so a choke is a good idea.
