[M.T. Pockets]

A #4 buck pellet from identical loads will have the same energy at any given range no matter what choke it came out of. But, a choke that gives him a better pattern will give him more pellets in the yote, and more hits would be better.

A 10 guage may not shoot pellets any further, but on average, 72 #4 buck pellets coming out of a 10 guage are going to pattern better, further, than a 3" 12 guage with 49 and do more damage to the yote.
