If thats 40 yards its not impressive for apex and ic choke as i have a ic choke in .555 and in 20 gauge its not even a 40 yard gun with tss or lead as u see with so many other pictures

As I stated in my post it's a 50yd pattern.  202 in 10" @ 50yd.  Idk if it's good or not that's why I posted the pic.

Over 200 in a 10 inch circle @ 50 yds, definitely will kill them.
Out of curiosity did you pattern at 20 yds to see how tight the pattern is?

No I didn't shoot 20yds. But I bet it tight....

202 in the ten at forty with longbeard XR four or fives would be a very solid pattern. The number fives (three inch) only have right at 297-300 pellets in the whole load, so to have over 200 of them in the ten at forty would not be a problem. Based on what he is saying, he is likely sitting right at 290 in the ten at forty yards. I know some want even tighter patterns, but I humble submit the notion that his pattern is really all he needs in the woods as far as turkeys.

That is a good pattern. You are going to be in the neighborhood of around 290 pellets at forty yards for the ten. You have a tiny little void at about seven o'clock in the outer 20" part of the circle (beyond where you counted off). But - most all 20's have a void or two. As far as your ten, anything of at least 100 pellets in the ten will generally be a sure kill, and you still have twice that amount at fifty yards. Most of the birds you shoot will be much closer to you than fifty yards. I would go to the woods with that and not give it another thought. Thanks for sharing.
