It still goes back to u may hit it 300 times at 40 yards and 100 times at 50 where as I hit it 150 times at 40 and 75 at 50 you killed te bird every time at those ranges 100 pellets in its head didnt make it any more dead than the 50. I think that is the root of our argument you have an obsession with pellet count and I don't think u need that many to still have 100% effective pattern we aren't talking nwtf scoring we are talking killing turkeys.

On that note take your 10 inch circle lets say I hit it 10x at 70 yards that not very good but I'm giving u the benefit of the doubt all 10 of those pellets could kill that bird this is only for argument sake not advocating it. Now lets take 7s and say we hit the same circle 30 times but 0 of them have the energy to kill the turkey. Your better odds would still be with the larger shot even if those odds are not high.

It comes down to at 50 and in even though u hit it with more pellets I still kill it just as often as you. Yes 7s give u a better pattern but at some point you can't make it more dead these are turkeys not paper targets. Its a simple principal of 7s result in 0 more dead turkeys.
