I would love the day that you "put me in my place" lol. I'm sorry my hobby isn't patterning my shotgun have I shot it enough to have confidence it will kill turkeys absolutely do I get off on my pellet counts No my current set up of hevi 13 #5s in combination w the hevi shot choke tube have proven Very effective on wild turkeys at extended ranges. I have hunted turkeys for 15 years and have taken roughly 30 birds having only ever shot at 1 I didn't take home with me that was attempting to double after already killing a bird. Don't get on some high horse bc u post pics of bird shot peppering a piece of cardboard. You may have also misunderstood the original intent was not to condone 70 yard shots but simply to discuss there bring 0 advantage w modern guns to 7 shot any distance 7 shot will kill a turkey 5 will do it just as well and when getting to extreme ranges the 5s give u a much higher likelyhood of going home w a bird. I have never personally shot a turkey over 55 yards but have watched others who use the same set up as I kill them at 65 and 75.
