Undertaker made for Hevi-shot, use 6 shot high density ammo of any brand and you will have a solid 30yd turkey gun, maybe 40+ with the right combo and 3" loads.

I agree 100% with mouthcaller, good patterns will come from his recipe. Make sure you get the choke made for hevi-shot, they make one for lead only.
