I beg to differ about the spread. When preparing for turkey hunting, same gun, same turkey choke, same shells, one with 18in barrel and the other 28in and it made a huge difference at 35yds

If the spread was that different, your 18” barrel was likely cylinder or imp cyl, which is most common for short barrels but swappable choke and tighter choke short barrels do exist, and your 28” was likely a tighter choke.

Like I said if you read carefully, was using the same turkey choke on both barrels..

if it was exactly the same choke, worse kill rates would be caused by poor velocity from shot at those ranges rather than different spread.

It was litterally a pattern test multiple shells tried with same choke. The only variant was the barrel length. I could see the spread being way tighter on the 28 vs the 18 for every shell.
