Yes, I've noticed that my chokes typically shoot better the more rounds you put through them.     The choke internals get polished by the passing wad columns with each passing shot.

I've found that my chokes have been delivering better patterns after looking at early patterns when new compared to recent patterns.

Of course, it also depends on your individual choke, gun and load, but most combos deliver the best patterns when squeaky clean.  YMMV

I've always said that a choke will only get slightly better with some shots through it if it is a new choke.  But I also have always said if the choke is going to be a good one you will know it from the first shot when shooting good quality ammo.

Never heard of this seems weird but if its been proven then thats very interesting

correct. you hear of this a lot with sleeves in match guns. i have never actually shot up shells to break in a choke. like ILIKEHEVI13 stated buy a quality choke and you will get good patterns from the start
