# of pellets in your pattern

Give us all an idea of how your turkey gun shoots with your turkey load for everyone to compare.

I just shot at 3 1/2in 2oz at 45 yards.
I have a chart that says there was approx 450 pellets in it.

I had a total of 177 hits on a paper grocery bag (12x17) So only 40% of the pellets hit the bag.
Of the hits, 85 of them hit a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper.
I made a fist and placed my fist and forarm on the paper simulating a turkey head and neck
30 rounds hit that mock turkey at 45 yards.

red, if you want i have a target i did that i print on a piece of 36"x42" paper i can get you a couple if you want to see where your pattern is going. it's nice being able to see the entire pellet count and how even the whole pattern truely is.

Thanks, but I've got several sheets of cardboard I could use if I want to really pattern it. And I have done so in the past at that distance and it seems to fill a 4'x4' or 5'x5' if I remember right. I've got a glowsite that only has three windage adjustments on it. I've it all the way over and it still shoots slightly to the right, but not enough that I would actually aim to the left.

I honestly have no idea what kind of choke it is lol
I think it's a HS strut x-full choke made for an 870. I don't know the constriction measurements (I don't think it came with the dimensions) but I know it's NOT a tight turkey choke by modern turkey choke standards. It's about the same as my hastings full...which is honestly not much different than my remchoke mod.

But I am throwing a LOT of lead regardless of chokes.
