    To shoot 00 Buckshot through barrels with a full choke?

    I am going to say its ok to do so, as long as the 00 is lead. That said, I don't know how a full choke would affect the 00 shot's flight. I suspect it should be alright and the 00 should react like any shot and bunch up tighter.

    Just speculating !!!

        Yes you can. I have done it but I felt I had a better pattern with a modified or looser choke at 50ft. With a full choke at least in my shotgun 1 to 3 pellets would be fliers and leave the pattern. This was with Federal tactical 00 buckshot.. YMMV

          In a full choke there is usually some deformation of several of the pellets because they are crammed together in the tighter choke diameter. Not dangerous, but does cause "fliers" as mentioned because of shot being out of round. You'll get more uniform, tighter patterns in most shotguns if you use modified choke.
