RE: Turkey Load Patterning Help
One of my turkey hunting buddies has a Stoeger. Last year on our annual turkey trip, he searched high and low for a extra full turkey choke and was able to find a used one. We patterned that gun and at 45 yards, he was getting 40-50 pellets in the head/neck target!. It was one of the most awesome patterns I've ever seen. He was shooting Winchester, 3", #6 turkey loads. I think I'd try that first. Hevi-shot is expensive, but will probably pattern better.
