Default Turkey Gun Patterns

Well ladies and gentlemen. Turkey season is quickly approaching and I advise each of you heading into the woods this year to get out and try some new loads, chokes, and gun combos. Due to money expenses, I could not try everything I wanted but here is a little taste of what I will be dealing with this year. I have decided to turn my Remington 870 Express 20 Gauge into my turkey gun.

I will begin with the choke patterns. All shot at 30 yards.

870 Remington 20 Gaugewith TruGlo Gobble Stopper Xtreme Choke and Remington #6 Birdshot
(Terrible pattern, few BB's in killing pattern and little knock-down behind them)


870 Remington 20 Gauge with TruGlo Gobble Stopper Xtreme Choke and Winchester Supreme Turkey Loads #5
(Very good pattern with a lot of velocity, shooter was a tad off though )


870 Remington 20 Gauge with TruGlo Gobble Stopper Xtreme Choke and Federal Magnum Turkey Loads #5
(Very good pattern, this will probably be my top choice come spring)


870 Remington 20 Gauge with Factory Modified Choke and Federal MagnumTurkey Loads #5
(Look at this difference between the pattern with this picture and the previous picture. Same gun and load, just with a modified and super full choke. Definatly makes a difference)





Now for the Finale
