thought about trying a 570 to see if it would make it a little more uniform or open just don't want the pattern too tight.

Too many are shooting once or twice and deciding if choke patterns are acceptable or not. Try shooting a couple of boxes of the cheaper field loads first and then go to your turkey shells.

BTW - you aren't going to get much better number wise than what you have. You also need to try lead Federal #6s  with  FC wads in the Sumtoy if you want a more open pattern. 30 yard pattern especially.
