Turkey hunting is a "gadget" sport and we turkey hunters are always looking for that gadget that will give us that extra edge. I have the same Undertaker choke tube in my '80's vintage BPS. I use the same Long Beard ammo, only my gun prefers #4's. I get killing patterns at ridiculous ranges with that combination. I have no intention to change. If you have the money you can see if it will work better than your UT tube. It's good for the economy and you can always change back if it doesn't work. But I tried a Carlson's tube at one point only to determine that it didn't give me any better patterns.
