Good enough for 50 yards?
I finally bought the Mossberg 835 Ultimag with the turkey choke. I installed an adjustable fiber optic sight since I'd had read here that the 835 often shot a little high and to the left before adjustment. Mine was low and to the right! After adjusting and readjusting through a box of Win 3 1/2" #5's and a few Win 3" #6 turkey loads, I got it centered. At 50 yards, the #6's put 10 pellets in the vital areas of the head/neck. The 3 1/2 #5's faired a little better at 12 pellets in the vital parts of the head/neck.
Since I'm planning on using the 3 1/2" #5's, should that kind of performance be considered sufficient for taking gobblers cleanly out to 50 yards?
