So, this happened today. I'm 1000000% positive it was tight.
I was shooting plain old Winchester lead turkey loads out of an 80's Auto 5.
I was hoping to use this old gun to take a spring bird here in MO. I think that experiment is over. :)

Yep that choke is done. :firefighter:
Could be a few things. I will not say what happen to this without look at all parts.
Now I have seen choke dropped and that can bend choke.
Seen some barrels off center.
Some chokes that don't go all the way down.
Some chokes run a very close tolerance and push it over the edge sometimes.
Then if some barrels have had work done to them like back bore.
