Going to resume this discussion over here in B&G to keep from offending the O/U crowd 
Generally 15-60% pattern reduction is pretty normal. Obviously the shotgun, the ammo, and the barrel bore can improve or reduce that. We sent one to FMD on SGW back in early-2008 to T&E and do a write-up on for his Rem1148 project (Google 'KA-1212') and you'll find the writeup. and the results he had were pretty typical. On a LE demo a couple weeks ago we were out at the range watching them do their end-of-year quals with handguns and shotguns. The demo was immediately after the quals and we had some of the officers go out and shoot the 15yd session from 20-25yds with the same ammo but out of our 16+2" Rem870 breacher instead of their 20" Rem870 patrol shotguns. They were getting similar scores but at an additional 5-10 yds back. At 10-15yds it was blowing chunks out of the silhouette targets (which made a lot of the officers grin in a very disturbing way)
I usually use the semi-auto with a cylinder bore and 20.5" barrel (including the brake) to shoot clays and dove with and it works great in that capacity. The patterning also tends to be very tight in the middle so when shooting clays you really gotta aim to get solid hits. I was out at the local range shooting clays with a guy running a choked Benelli Nova 20ga (26" barrel if I remember correctly) the other day and was able to hit clays a lot further out than his 20ga would reach. BTW, those Novas are nice shooters, especially for the $$$. We traded guns for awhile and I was surprised how well that Nova handled and pointed, had a hard time getting over the 'airsoft' feel of the gun though.
That semi-auto generally shoots a 6" pattern at 15yds using standard Remington 9pel 00buck rounds. Federal Flite-Control (awesome ammo) patterns about 4" at that range. That's not a guarantee of what all shotguns will do with the KA-1212, but it is a good example of what it can do.
The breacher is meant for LE use and about 70% of them are sold to LE, but they will shoot better than a lot of chokes will. Been thinking about putting together an O/U with the bottom barrel outfitted with the KA-1212 brake (non-breacher) just to piss off the Fudds at the range
