Patterns seem pretty even. I would be happy if I got that out of my Beretta. I use a .680 and lb #5 also old school federal 3inch #6 and does a decent job on birds. Your Beretta is a straight shooter if your looking for bigger numbers you'll have play the choke and ammo game. But if you ask me a fly could not get through them patterns. I also have a 835 and their hard to beat but alot heavier. I think you have a fine shooter in mho. Good luck
I'd either call sumtoy tell him what your after or try to find a 660/665 Indian Creek...either one on swap chokes for you to make sure your happy and getting what your after.
Your red dot issue is more then likely you switching chokes..Anytime you switch a choke and or load do not expect the same out come..Hence the old saying pattern your gun before you hunt..I have red dots my self...I'm not a huge fan but if the gun don't shoot straight or can not be fixed with tru glo sights a man don't have much choice.
Can't say a lot on ammo..I load myself..I don't trust anything federal sales from the chasing lot number days with the fed HW shells..Longbeards killed turkeys when they came out and will still do it 10 years from now..Sad to say but a quick search on here shows that the quality of the shells really went down hill after the first year.
I'd recommend foxtrot ammo if I had to buy a TSS shell

The red dot lost zero using the exact setup I used to zero it. Didn't even take the gun apart or remove the choke between. The Burris failed.

360 hits in a 10" will give you pattern density to kill a turkey waaaaay farther than someone should be shooting at turkeys. Your pattern looks even, so it isn't over choked. Try to get an Indian Creek or Sumtoy .660 and tighten it up. I haven't saw many Roberts chokes patterns that were all that impressive.
If your Burris failed it is a rarity and it sucks because it will ruin your confidence. Look at the Holosun sights, they are built like a tank and I haven't heard any problems of losing zero.
Good Luck in your search!

You have a nice gun, my son shoots a Beretta A400 in 20ga. I'm with Old Timer, your patterns would kill any turkey I've ever shot. How far are you wanting your gun to shoot?
Patterns look great - 360/10 is waay more than plenty. All the pellets outside that 10" are wiggle room. I wouldn't spend another dollar on chokes but I would start rolling my own TSS. That's the only way to really assure consistency and availability of what you want when you want it.
