Kim, Jennifer, and Matthew,

I have a student (Jen Bishop) here at the University of Central Oklahoma that is interested in further researching this topic. Would it be possible for you to forward that paper on to me so she can get started on this independent study?

Jeff Foggy:
I think Rosmary Jassoy in Tampa did a small study on wad distance stuff. 

Rosemary Jassoy:
I did a small controlled test using Federal 12 Ga 9 pellet 00 Buck (2 pc wad) for a case that involved 2 different bbl lengths (different chokes). :detective:

1.  Looking at specifically chamber marks on cartridge casings and what can affect them:
-  Water or oil on case or in chamber, does caliber matter
-  Reduced loads, does caliber matter
-  Dirt etc. in chamber
-  Loose vs. tight cartridge/chamber fit

2.  How consistent is wad drop off for estimating shotgun shooter location.  The various wad designs could be tested and compared.

Chamber pitting and case mouth variations might also be worth consideration. Sometimes case mouths flow forward in distinctive and uneven ways and other markings may be present. This is an amateur's opinion, so bear that in mind. And good luck.
