After reading about the trigger work on this thread. I sent mine in to Rob Roberts and it does make a heck of a difference. I am extremely pleased.

I finally got out to get mine dialed in. I have a SumToy ordered and I used a Carlson .575 to sight in and shoot my turkey loads with. I forgot to bring my bore snake or anything to clean with between shots. Once it was dialed in I backed up to 40 and shot, then shot at 30 and 15 yards to see how the Turkey loads looked. At all three different yardages I had turkey killing patterns.  My 40 yard pattern had 120 in the 10" circle at 40. It was plenty good to kill a turkey but to be honest I thought it would do better, by that I mean more pellets in the 10" circle. . My question is do you guys think not cleaning my gun between shots had an affect on my 40 pattern?  Once the sumtoy choke gets here I will shoot as well , but I was just curious as to y'all's thoughts on this.
Thanks in advance guys for any input. Also I was shooting federal 1 1/2 oz 3" #7's

you are using the right load for that gun.  And yes, clean barrel before each shot.  you should be about 140ish with the Carlson.

gophert

Yep clean the barrel and u should be fine

Codym:

Did you re-dip that gun? What pattern is it?

codym

No I didn't dip, it's the factory pattern only option on the turkey model. Sorry not sure which pattern it is.

ElkTurkMan

The pattern they come in is Real Tree APG (all purpose Green)
