my 870 patterned more than good enough with the first choke and first shell...at 20yds i fear a head may come off or its going to make for a bad pic to say the least...even out to 35 its way more than enough to kill a turkey....so i cleaned the gun and put it back on the wall...no reason to waste money time and get hurt for nothing....it will work...dead is dead.....i doubt i need a few more pellets....i have a bunch to spare as is......i dont see the reason to have 100+$ choke...the best of the best shells...and have a pattern blow a hole in paper out to 40yds....thats just not needed in turkey hunting...im in it for the fun...part of that is having my game close.....thats me though...
