A turkey killing machine.  You should have no problem killing birds out to 40 with that setup.

I have same gun, shells, and choke. The tightwad did 131 in 10. My hs undertaker did just a few pellets more than the tightwad and both were shot with factory bead and an unpolished barrel.

Polish that barrel!  It made a pretty big difference on both my 870 20's.
