I think my post is incorrect. As you mention I think the reduction is KW 30 (H?) to plain KL20-KL12, not KLH 20/10 as I described. The height to the bottom of the KLH ring is higher than the bottom of the KW30H so it wouldn't work.

The layout was described by ZA fisher over on SOL (he's quite sharp).
Here is his quote (but I'm not sure if he uses a KW30 or KW30H)

"8's are fine if you have no weed. (use them myself)
Don't like KW30 to KW20 though, not because of over choking, but because the KW20 is low and I find you need to push it out further for a neat bullseye to the choke.
You end up with, to my mind a too large gap between the KW30 and KW20.
KW30 to KL20 to KL12 is a different story - works like a charm with the KL20 and KL12 being quite a bit taller than their KW counterparts.
But you have to be comfortable with single foot guides"
