RE: Need gun selection help, here's why.
I agree and disagree with UncleNorby. 45 hits isn't much, but I would stick with the 10" circle. Work with different choke and load combinations until you have I'd say a minimum of 100 hits evenly distributed within the circle @ 40 yards. Those head and neck targets look pretty cool, but keep in mind that a turkey's head is constantly moving, and can be anywhere in that 10" circle by the time you pull the trigger. I'm still working on my gun, but the last time I shot at paperI put 165 pellets in a 10" circle @ 40 yards. The gun was a Mossy 835, 20" barrel and a .690 Jelly Head choke. Load was 3.5" 2.25 oz #6 Hevi-13s.
