Default RE: Too tite?

ORIGINAL: dogknott

I'm getten back into turkey hunting and see that there is a pile of aftermarket tubes. Got to thinken, how tite is too tite on constriction, I shoot 3 1/2 12 gauge lead, no hevi-shot yet.
Will .655 be too tite and tend to distort the pattern?
Will a 665 still give a good pattern out to 50 yards?
I plan on patterning several differnt loads, just dont want to end up with something too tite. If it matters, i will probly be shooting a Remington and 5 or 6 shot.
Try 3 inch shell, some times a shorter shell will shoot better.
The Old Timers used 2 inch Black Powder shells.
They killed turkeys just fine.
