I shot this target at 40 yards with a Trulock .660 (non-ported) with my Versamax turkey model before heading off to Florida on an Osceola hunt. Very impressed with both the target and field results. I counted 251 in the 10" circle. No complaints from the Osceola on the slower 1050 muzzle velocity.

Great pattern! How do you like the VersaMax? Any dislikes?

Your weapon sits on top of you shoulders, everything else is just equipment.

Wow!  I'd never buy another HTL shell again if I got lead 5 patterns like that!

Nice pattern.  Wow!  You mean the slower pellets didn't bounce off the turkeys head?   Imagine that???   I am shocked here!  Amazing results to be sure!  And the bird didn't even complain because your pellet hit him at a slightly lower velocity ??

Awesome - I would convert back to lead if my SX2 patterned like that!

I have definitely become a fan of the Versamax. I have both an SBE II and the Versamax , and  found that they are incredibly similar. The recoil on the Versamax is more manageable, and the only thing I'm not a fan of is the wider foregrip that seems to be a tad loose. Overall, very impressed with the performance after some experimentation with different load and choke combos.

The forearm was loose on my Versa Max as well. I called Remington and they mailed me the updated parts and it fixed the problem. Maybe try that... Safe hunting!

251 with lead #5s. Never thought I'd see that.

 :OGturkeyhead: You got a great pattern! Hope FL was good a trip for you!
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.
