OK Guys I finally got my Sumtoy .562 and 3" Federal heavyweight 7s 1 1/2oz. I had a chance to go try them out today. Here are the results from 40 yards on a 10". Temp was around 60 with 15+ MPH winds. 224 in the 10", 314 total on a 18"x20" target. I will be shooting a few more test shots soon. I'm hoping for the same numbers or better, I will update with additional patterns. I was wondering what's the average numbers for this combo?? I made a post a few weeks ago in the 20 gauge section where Chris30br, Vaturkey, and others recommended the Sumtoy .562 from William. Thanks to all for the input and recommendations.

WOW!! Your 224 in the 10 is amazing, I'd like to see pics of that :you_rock:
I posted picture but for some reason I had to re-enter the picture, it's posted now.
Awesome pattern! :icon_thumright:
Wow very nice!
Very nice. Makes me want to set up a 20 ga for turkeys. That thing patterns great!
Thanks Guys.
Hook you need a 20 gauge set up, better make sure your willing to put that 12 gauge in the closet because once you start shooting that little 20 you'll be Hooked, no pun intended :funnyturkey:
After shooting my Mossberg 835 yesterday then picking up my 20, I was thinking WOW what a relief!! I Love my 20.
:TrainWreck1: for longbeards!!! Congrats Bradley on a job well done!!!!
What Benelli you shooting? Nova,M2?
I was shooting a Benelli " M2 ". It's written on my target picture. Sorry I didn't put that in my post. :funnyturkey:
That is an awesome pattern with Heavyweight, very tight. I think they might be one of the highest numbers I have seen with that load.
I think maybe where I live might have something to do with the unusually high numbers. I live in North Central New Mexico and the elevation at the range is approximately 7000' above sea level. Maybe the thinner air might be a contributing factor. Or maybe I was lucky and got a really good shooting M2 which paired up well with a nice Sumtoy choke. I will be going back east later this year and plan to give it a test run at lower elevations.
That's a dang nice pattern!
Looks great.........
great pattern making me consider a 20
Awesome 20 gauge pattern! I think SumToy makes the best Turkey Choke out there! My son in law got a 660 from him for his off the wall 12 gauge and the pattern for that sucka is Bad to the Bone!! Your 20 pattern at same distance aint to far off from his 12!!! ;)
Yeppers, the Sumtoy chokes are mighty fine. There's a lot of good chokes out there and a man has to shoot what he likes, for me I really like sumtoy. I have shot many different chokes with different guns and have to say Somtoys are among the best. The service is as good as their chokes which is very important to me.
Great Pattern Bradley ! Glad the Sumtoy worked out good for you. Feel free to PM me for any other assistance.
