But what do they do at 50 feet?

I'm kind of thinking of going back the other way this spring. I'm over shooting birds at distances beyond 45 yards. I'm turkey hunting... not turkey shooting. Every single bird I have ever missed has been inside of 15 yards.... where my pattern is about the size of a dixie cup top. At 25... it will still take a birds head OFF. At 40 yards... the 10" circle count on my Winchester Elite E.R. HD 2oz #6s is in the 190s. Which is really really good for any turkey gun.

That Nitro with over 300 in a 10" at 40 is world class. My shells only have about 420 pellets in them (2oz of #6 HDs). I thought that Hevi-shot and Win Extended Range HD were the same weight... but I guess not if there are 500-600 pellets in a 2 1/4oz load of 4x5x7.
