I think you are nearly maxed out yardage wise.


My short 870+Ventilator much prefered the Win HV 3" 1.75oz #6 over anything else lead.

The Winchester #6 loads are good in the ventilator and I would prefer 6s in that tight of a choke. Those chokes can throw  mean  #7 patterns too.

You got your bird with what you have, no question.

Dead turkey!  I would run some 6's thru it though.
