I think your being too particular.  That is a fine hunting pattern that is going to kill every gobbler that gets in it's way.  I agree maybe a touch left but I would shoot another one and see if it is again and maybe click your red dot over.  Have you deep cleaned your barrel?

Thanks for the input! I cleaned the barrel really well before I started testing this season. It probably has twenty shots through it. And yeah you're right I probably am being to particular, it would kill a turkey I'm just analytical to a fault

I had better luck with a tighter choke.  Give a 560 or 555 a try with the Boss 9s.  FYI JEBS is good about letting you swap if you aren't happy with the pattern.  Give the shop a call.

Many times Jeb's and IC cannot be beat, but with a load that heavy, you might also give the Patternmaster Anaconda Striker .570 a try. It works with Gas over constriction and seems to shoot anything pretty good. It shot the 1 7/8 ounce load really well and that is a similar number of pellets. The Anaconda is not that expensive either.
