Shot my 870 21" this morning since we had some nice weather.

Temp: 59 degrees
Distance: 42 yards lasered
Choke: SumToy 562-5
Load: Hevi-13 3/1.25/6


It put 135 pellets in a 10 inch circle and 30 of those were in the spine/brain area of the turkey target. I still can't believe the type patterns these 20's are capable of with the right choke and HTL load. I have 9 more full boxes of this Lot # of Hevi 13 #6's. I think that it ought to kill a turkey...

That is good numbers.  That is the Federal choke also. 
Tell us just how dead do you want them to be and we will see if we can get that for you.

I want to try some Federal 7's in it, but I have too much HTL already purchase for the 20 gauge to keep experimenting.  I believe the Fed 7's would push into the 160 - 170 range with this choke.

That pattern will kill all day long...

No doubt. If I can't kill him with 130+ in the 10 at 40 I need to quit...
