RE: Still a 35 yard Turkey Gun
i could probably call mine a 50yd turkey gun......my factory choke wasnt too good.....threw patterns like yours...even looser....after season i bought an HS strut Hevi shot undertaker tube and a box of remington high velocity #6 hevi shot.....at 35yds i put 187 hits on a 10x10 sheet of paper.......BUT....all my standard lead turkey loads in all sizes patterend ALOT better.....i got 4 hevishots left.....thatll get me through the season.....if not i got a bunch of lead loads....ill buy more hevishot when its 5 bucks a box after the season.....then do extensive pattern testing....and ill be working at walmart so ill check daily.....i know you guys hate walmart but as sad as it is to say its one of the higher paying jobs for teenagers in my area....and they offered me alot....i didnt wanna work there but i need money.........ill hafta do some pattern testing on actual turkey targets and do actual counts but they should be pretty nice....the density i got and a center mass pattern was enough to make me happy......the choke did it all for me though..the hevi shot DID pattern the best....but the lead loads i shot also patterned very nicely....btw..my gun is an 870 express mag turkey gun...3 inch mag 21inch barrel...both chokes are extended...
