Does the choke have to be 'transferred' (or Face-2-face) or can you buy it freely and only need the FAC if you want to use it?

They shot lovely at 25m, well, they would wouldn't they!
Unfortunately, when pushed out to 50m the term "group" no longer applied, with most slugs going through the paper sideways.
I have a rifled choke on order and will be doing a video comparison between smoothbore, rifled choke and full rifled barrel as soon as I can.
I will say they hit the knockdowns at 25m with some authority, making my 9mm look like a pea-shooter

I'm in France and you don't need a licence to buy it. It's all a bit weird, but essentially only semi auto's and handguns need prefectural authorisation.
Not many people have got a 12 bore air rifle

Ah, that explains it, shame as I guess you can't help with the licensing part.

Depends where it stopped. If at the breech then yes. If at the muzzle, probably not, but the inertia of the slug stopping could cause it to expand and trash your barrel.I'm mixing them aren't I!?
The slugs are 430gr and the powder charge is 19gr, ideally I want subsonic but is that too low?
I know with the 9mm the danger from too low a charge is the bullet staying in the barrel and the next one following it up, but when you are single loading and checking this should be less of a risk. The big question is would the pressure spike if the slug failed to leave the barrel?
All hypothetical til I find out more numbers

More testing happened!
Today we mainly played with pump actions, the clear winner is the Benelli Supernova with a red dot mounted as shown by this (the first) five shot group at 50m. There is a certain amount of recoil anticipation there as was shown whenever I mis-counted and fired an empty chamber

Different weights had a mild effect on recoil, grouping and tumbling, with the 28g performing best.

If you're feeling recoil enough to be anticipating it then you should perhaps think about looking at fit. With the lighter of my 12g guns I can literally stand shooting all day, hundreds of shots, and I feel nothing. Before I adjusted lop comb height and a slight 2mm cast off, the the same gun punched me in the cheek bone with almost every shot.

Until today they had all been fired through my Xtra lite o/u and it wasn't exactly calming. The first shots today were through the same, and to be fair the Benelli was a pussycat by comparison. We fired a hundred or so slugs and by the end we were just plinking and enjoying ourselves, I reckon it had all but disappeared by then.
The Winchester SXP was just as nice despite being lighter, but as that only had a bead it was no use for accuracy testing.
