Went out again today had a repeat of yesterday. A lot of birds getting hit and flying off seeing them drop out of the sky a couple hundred yards away. Talked with a few other hunters hunting the field I was on today and they are having the same problem. Best solution I can figure at this point is opening up the choke and using a larger shot 6 or 4 (been using 6) and reducing my shot distance to no more than 25 yards, that seems to be the magic line I'm running into beyond that they aren't dropping well.
