Well boys...my shoulder cant take anymore. I have shot over 40 3.5" shells in the last 24hrs, and over 20 3" shells.
My shoulder is sore.....very very sore, but my results I think I like.
See below, and let me know what you all think

30yds, 3.5" Win HV#5, Mad Max Choke for #5/#6 Shot, Mossberg 835, Off a bench.

Back...I should note there are 15 pellets in the kill zone, that being brain and spine.

40yds...same configurations...pattern not as tight as I would want, but still a dead bird none the less...Dont think Ill ever shoot this far anyway.
Ran out of HS targets...grrrrr

Back at 40..I should note again there are 6 pellets in the brain/spine

Looks like no matter what combination you take into the woods with you...any turkey within 30 yards is yours.

Another one at 40, this time only 3 settled into the brain/spine, but I still think it is a good pattern.
Maybe Ill try the StarDot a bit more this weekend, but for now this is my choke/shell combo...

Mr. Longbeard

Like I've said before10 yards will take a WHOLE LOT of those pellets out ofa pattern...

Anyhow if I were you I would limit my shots to 35 yards... Perferably 30 yards...

I went out this week end to pattern my 870 and my 40 yard pattern was prob close to your 30 yard... 3" Win HV #5's Tru Glo Strut Stopper

i personally like how that hevi shot looks. have you shot it at 40 yet??? it looks like it would do well out to 40 at least.
