Default RE: Shotgun Patterning

If you keep your shots to 30 yd.s or less you're OK. But, frankly a turkey gun should do much better than that. My first bird was shot with an old Rem. Model 11 with a factory 30" full choke barrel and a 2 3/4" Federal duck load. I got about the same patterns with that gun as you describe with yours. If you have time before the season, I'd recommend you look for a better choke/load combination.
