Over Bore?

I had a 12 ga Baker Big Bore gun that I shot quite a bit. The bore size was .778 if I remember right. The same shells out of both guns now.. In a regular skeet bbl they averaged 1166...out of the Big Bore the average was 1202 Seriously..it was higher. And I have noticed the same phenomenon in a Mossberg 3 1/2 in pump. There is a bunch of info on overboring out there. Most says the velocity will usually average higher out of a larger bored gun. Oh BTW the bbl length was equal too.
